needs a bit more contrast, but a cute scene for sure

Soft, but it works with the subject. Lovely.

I really like the idea of this shot a lot. The whole photo seems to be a little on the dark side to me. Also, I would like to see the fountain made level with just a slight counter clockwise rotation. I'm still trying to decide on the baby's blue hat. I think I might like it better without that bit of blue. I think no hat on the baby would have been better. I do like the flowers in the foreground and the overall composition of the photo.

Whether it was by accident, coincidence, planning, or photoshop, the fuschia hat and baby's outfit are perfect for this composition. I adore this photo...it has a dreamy, fairy-tale like quality that I just love. It does seem to be tilted down to the right a tad, and I wish the light were a tiny bit brighter on the girls, but I love it anyway.

Good pic!
It seems to be have desatured a bit so it gives the picture an old vibe. Works very well here!

Well done. Lighting on the fountain, bold hats, flowers in the foreground are all strong. I might have traded a shorter shutter speed and the less smooth water that goes with it for some additional sharpness on the people which is generally lost with the longer shutter speeds, but that is a nit pick. This is a very nice shot. -9

And a very pretty couple they make. The scene on my screen is somewhat grainy which takes away from the sweetnes of the event. Did you try softening this scene to give it a more tender dreamy look? BOL
