I was using my 50mm 1.8 for a nice soft background. Unfortunately, I forgot about how shallow the DOF would be. This shot wasn't too bad, but I had a couple that ended up being a little soft on the subject.
This is my favorite, based on the two of them being together, their expressions, and the overall composition. It's got a lot of emotion. The only thing I don't like is that you cropped their hands off. Might have been nice if the crop were closer to the tops of their heads and continued down to below their hands/waists.
I don't feel like the pose is uniform ... it's like the two people are "individuals" rather than a couple (mom & daughter?). Something is missing that would connect them in some way... their expressions, their poses, etc.
Here you might try taking a step to camera left. Include more of the fence as a leading line up to the subjects and crop the right side which is simply leading away from them.
