Arm in arm with my true love.by
smardazComment by Neil: Greetings from the Critique Club:
Strengths: Fits the theme with a bit of humor. Pretty good control over exposure, considering the strongly backlit scene.
Weakness: If you can forgive the pun, the garbage can trashes the shot. It's very salient and distracting. The haze in the background, and the buildings, don't give this the full lover's lane feel that would have earned this more points.
Suggestions: This would have been really great with a colorful sunset background, or golden hour hues, and using the car/person sillouettes. Or a night scene, with city lights below, depending on the region. In any case, the garbage can needed to go. I haven't read any ocmments yet, but I'm sure that really hurt. You probably should have cropped a bit more at the bottom to, to get rid of the partial plate.
Hope that helps. Good idea, just a bit more time on setup, and you would score well.
