The Pause That Refreshes

I admire that you got the couple to pose in the water... Pretty daring of them! I am assuming this is a trash the dress session. While the water pose makes this more dynamic as a picture, the photo itself lacks color and seems a tad under exposed. The sun gives great light yet it doesn't give off the warmth needed to overcome the blue/grey waters. My eye continuously travels to the negative space in the top of the picture.

convince the young lady to relax, is the water cold?

This is a great idea, with superb reflection and lighting. But it's the pose that is the weakest element here - she does NOT look comfortable.

Not really mid day sun - looks like its actually quite low in the sky to be honest.

BTW...the 2's, 3's and 4's given to this shot are ridiculous!

"D this is just begging to be printed, framed in gold, & placed where you can show it off. The BG 'makes' this shot. Nice work!

as if fireworks exploding out of the screen - the processing is very nice on the petals and the choice of vignette to focus our attention - i just wonder if the middles are just a bit oversharpened
