TIM!!!
Your submission was given to me for the critique.
First I must tell you I am humbled to critique this high placing photo! I'll try and critique it with my usual formula. Gotta say, I'm no photo pro, I just like to look at and take pictures.
How the pic made me feel: A) before I read the photographer's comments...Got to smell the humid tropical air. Got to hear the wild tropical birds. Got the feeling of being in a tropical rain forest.Hadn't noticed the handbag yet, Then...B) after reading your photographer's comments...Ah man! A zoo!!! I got to feel your frustration at the people walking by. Why do they always step in front just at the right time?! Do they WANT to be in the picture? Not an easy setup, as you state!
What I like about your picture: I like the tropical innuendo. A lot. I like, of course, the misting that gives the soft focus, thus meeting the challenge quite well. I also like the framing type of composition. I adore the sunlight coming through the mist.
What I like a bit less: I completely understand that your models were not by choice, but the handbag breaks the feeling. The dude looks like he's exploring the forest. The lady, well, is just passing through, as if she's saying:"get out of my way!"
All in all, a very nice pic, and I think it did great. Keep it up!!!
