I know exactly what you mean by this. These little things and stuff like them are always sticking in places we really don't want them. Yet they persist. Well seen.

I would have liked to have seen less of that bottom corner subject.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation Hue: N/A Brightness and Contrast: Very well done. Focus and depth of field: Focus is excellent. Depth of field may be just a tiny bit shallow. The upper part of the man's right shoulder, his right ear and the hair go a bit soft. Otherwise very nice job of separating the couple from a busy background. I especially like the crispness of her hair against the contrasting background.

I like the pose, the picture tells a story of a happy couple at a special occasion.

I fear there might be a little over processing here. Even though this is a black and white photo, there is something a bit odd. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the skin tones look a little bit wrong. I would think there would be more contrast between the skin and the clothing. The same goes for the hair. It almost reminds me a little of an infra red picture. It's not huge, but just a bit off.

I try to spend some time with each picture I review. I enjoy this much more than voting as I have the luxury of exploring the images more deeply.

Overall I have really enjoyed your image. Congratualtions on a top 25 finish.

Excellent work here - I love the quite comfort captured in this portrait. The two look so relaxed together, as if they have spent a lifetime together...

An excellent photo, right on the money for the challenge. It's a 10 and I'm sure it will end up if not with the Blue then in the top 10 for sure.
