The emotion that this photo shows is classic and timeless. It is a great B&W. For me this is the winner in this challenge and a very good photo on its own.
Nice grab. Try zooming out, using a wider angle or getting down on the ground to emphasize the isolation and the fact that you're in stealth mode, or interpose some out-of-focus foreground element like foliage.
Nice photo and very well cropped. I like the darkness at the left it draws the eye to the subject (dodge / burn?). However on my monitor it seems a little dark. I would have rated it higher if the details weren't lost in the black clothing.
A good candid that has the potential for art. It is hindered by the short DOF on the fence nearest to the couple and the dark tone. A bit more width in the midrange would go a long way to giving this image that extra oomph to push it into the 8-9 range. The bench behind the wall seems like it should be cloned out.
Overrall nice shot...that being said, I do have some comments. First of all....is this really candid or was it setup? If it really was candid, then great job! I like the composition, them on the right side of the photo and the bag still on the empty bench. I don't like the hazziness artound their heads. Its almost a soft focu and I really wish that was sharper. I also don't care much for the bench behind the wall....its distracting and could have been very easy to crop out. Nice job.
