Nice shot although this may have worked better on a different background. A little darker one would have shown the milk better and appeared less grainy.

A plain but well shot setup photo. Interesting that there seem to be about 5 shadows behind that milk glass! The lighting could do with a bit more work, I think... more diffusion to make the shadows softer. I'm not a fan of a big, square crop either... it makes a photo difficult to read, in my opinion.

I would have loved this shot even more with a plain background.

I like the angle and the tree in the background is neat-o

I like your use of flash...very dramatic and the background of trees compliments the street sign very well.

Comment by lionelm:
FIRST IMPRESSION : Waow, perfect composition, nice to have the 2 people in a perfect pose.

COMPOSITION : Very nice. The eye is drawn directly to the 2 people in a pose tha does not sound posed at all, very natural. They are not hidden by the .. 'plants' (sorry do not know the name), they are between them but without any interference.
I like the curve of the edge going down on the right side of the picture.

TECHNICAL : Perfect exposure , the two peole are not tatally balck but without too much details so that the pose and the shape of the bodies prevails. Nothing to say about depth of field.
A little distracting (not that much ) ?flare? at the feet of the man (or something else) but not very bad and not tha much you could do anyway.

DIGITAL : Signs of oversharpness ( edges of bodies and plants) or maybe compression artefact. They are

MY OPINION :
I like that photo, it gets a waow factor at the begining. The 2 people add a lot of impact to the picture and in a nice way.
Even at the end of the critic ... I still enjoy looking at it , imagining some story between the 2 people, their stories, did they walk hand in hand ? dud they meet there after a long time, did she just told him she is pregnant ? did he just asked to to marry him ?

Nice photo, a very fine job.

Lionel, for the critique club

Cute composition, however the design on the table cloth is too busy for my taste. I like the look of the set up for the milk and cookies. Good luck.

Comment by Lustre:
The lighting on the tree is interesting. Did you use a flashlight perhaps to light the sign? Great clarity on the sign. I'm not sure from your title whether "Jerry and Gonsalves" is something I should recognise, or just a corner you chose randomly (perhaps where you live).
