Go easy on the wine (and your spouse) :-)
Good placement on your heads and bottle. Bottle also wery clean and in good focus, would have preferred to se the other side on it.
Lovely smiles that show how much fun you are having. The only thing that is distracting is the lamp behind in the right.
Overall a very good picture but I always (almost) prefer colour over bw.
P.S. is she saying: Is this the last take? and you are about to say, I hope so :-)

This one isn't quite as focused as the girl. Nice use of negative space. I'm sure getting a boy to hold still is virtually impossible. LOL

This one is very nice too. Great lighting and focus. If I were to nitpick anything, I'd say the bright contrast of the design on her blouse hurts it a bit, but man, her face is perfect.

From the Critique Club :

Hi Shailesh ,

Comparing with , I think that Naturally Textured - Take II fits much better a Textures' challenge.

The focus is great on the shell and on its reflection , really much better ; the details are very sharp.

Personally I prefer the first background , it's more neutral , maybe even less appealling at a first sight but orange/redish and sand color don't work too well together (imho).

Noise is visible too in this version and about the border , I have noticed that many voters/viewers generally don't appreciate borders.

Lighting is good , better than in the first one (no strong shadows , more natural look).

I agree with Neuferland you truly have improved your shot !

Please feel free to email me about this critique.
