Critique Club Comment:
This is going to be a bit harsh critique I guess.
I read your profile and you said you want to learn to do portraits well.
So by saying how much I like this, you won't learn I guess.
Let me say first that I like the idea, and that your photo is crisp and sharp.
But there are some distracting things going on here.
As people mentioned, the gray on the womans face looks very unnatural, and the face of the man is too dark.
I am not a portrait master or a studio expert, but the lighting, intentional or unintentional is not my taste. There is a big black shadow on the guy's face, and some major hot spots on the womans face.
If you have those two flashes, with softboxes and umbrella's just go and experiment with light setup, get your girlfriend, kid, brother, sister, mother over for a cup of coffee and start shooting until you really understand what those flashes can and can't do, why they do it and how to use them in different situations under different circumstances.
Practice makes perfect.
This has potential, if you put your mind to it, I know you can do it.
I'll keep my eye on you and see what you come up with.
Keep on shooting.

| Burning on the side of her face is painfully obvious here. :( |

| Nice picture. I like the background with him but her skin tone doesn't work as well. Love her expression. |

| a bit too dark here. more lighting to the faces would help bring the colour out a bit more. |

| Although the side of her face looks strangely gray, I like the composition and the white background works nicely. |

| Nice job, something different is always nice to see. Especially having two people on the white background is nice. |

| I think in a portrait with more than one person they should be connected somehow. |

| There is an unnatural darkness on the cheek of the woman almost black? Other than that a really nice image... |

I like everything about this, except, the other model looking away :)
Well lit and sharp. Good luck |

| The over powering white background.(even though it a good choice) Defusses the over all picture here. The light it self is wrong and in the wrong place. The colors on the faces are to dark when the face are so bright looking. To many shadows. And this would have helped with the blacks in the bottom not to fade together. |

| Looking at this, you just gotta smile and wonder "What the heck is he looking at?" |

| This is very well done, except, for my tastes, I think it would have made a better portrait to just have her in it since she is posing so well, and it looks like he got caught off guard. |

| I like the choice to have 2 people in this picture and the overall "atmosphere" (ie: giggly people) is interesting. :-) |

| On the right side of this models face there is a grayish tint that is very unappealing. Im not sure this was intentional or unintentional, but it is distracting, and gives the picture no justice. I hope this comment helps. GL. |
