background is distracting. What might work better is to have the subjects further away from the background then tighten the DOF.

Just a little too much Neat Image I think. It really shows on her breast where there's no texture in the fabric left and the faces are on the verge of being plastic

They make a beautiful couple. I just feel the blacks have gone too far black (no detail left in them - in fact, there appears to be a purposeful blur within the blacks - either gaussian blur or Neat Image).

Beautiful image, beautiful subject. The lighting is excellent, not sure if you had any say over it or not, but if not it was well utilized, if so, very nicely placed. The clarity is wonderful. Composition is great. There is a slight melancholy to the image, her face looks like there's an underlying sadness somewhere. I think this is captured just wonderfully. The only thing I'd suggest changing is perhaps cropping it just below where her shirt shows on her chest. The reason I say that is much of that microphone in the front is (necessarily) out of focus and that's a bit distracting. Cropping it at her shirtline would get rid of much of that while still allowing the image to breathe. Nicely done. 7

"Ooohhh...." was my first thought when this image popped up. It looks like something from a good cooking magazine. I'm not crazy about the handle in the upper part of the frame though. I love the warm natural-looking light. It gives the roots a nice glow and the textures a revealed nicely.

I hav a feeling the textures don't dominate the image enough to give it impact. Pity because the idea is a really good one
