Nice set up and composition. Seems like the lighting is good too. I'm a fan of the browns on the right pictures, but in my opinion it's just a bit "washed" or hazed over, maybe too much. Can't get over those expressions though, you know those are two hearts that really understand each other. Nicely captured :)

Nicely done with the black background. I raise Amaryllis as a hobby and to give as gifts. Mine are all alike since they are clones. They are very nearly the same color as you have shown here. I have posted many of them here and am running out of ideas for new ways to film them. The first of this years crop are just now starting to bloom. Here is a picture I took last year showing some of them. I love watching them grow. I have not posted this particular photo. Del.

Lovely floral, Jim! Everything is perfect in this image... the lighting is just fine, the black background makes this easy to admire, and the subject of course is well chosen and framed. Nice job... 7/7.

Nice sharp shot with great detail and I like the perspective from which it was taken. Just a hint for when you reach my age and can't get down to the ground easy. Just bend over and hold your camera low. This also will keep your wife from yelling about the grass stains on the knees of your pants. Del.

Actually, I mostly agree with him.
A flash is going to be a point light very close to the lens plane, giving you a pretty flat light.
My rationale for flash is not for illumination, but just for catch-light.
On location, I find I'm using flass less. I prefer to use a 4' reflector on a tripod. It's a soft light source, while also able to illuminate from a broad angle off-axis from the lens.
Just remember they psychology involved - that the eyes are "windows to the soul, yada yada". There is a large emotional and psychological component to the eyes.

Thanks Paul, I'll keep that in mind next time I do a shot like this.
The reason I shot without flash, was that, I attended a photo workshop, where the instructor, Doug Gordon, instructed us not to use flash and, it works for him. You can google him and check out his work and you'll see what I mean. As for the smoov factor, I'll try to adjust for the next post.
Thanks again,
jim

The tilt was totally unintentional, it was me not hold the camera straight. I didn't see it until it was too late, should have adjusted that. I like what you did though, adds a nice dimension to the photo. I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks

Jim,
The part of the shot with just them can be salvaged; they're extremely photogenic and the pose is great. The background however is too blow out. You would have to drop in another background and blur it out to give good DOF and not distract from them. The only other thing I can think of is to take this totally high key.

Jim,
I came at it a bit different than Paul (although he is the master not me). I think your tilt doesn't quite work, it is just off a tiny bit, so make it like you meant it. I also increased the saturation. As Paul said darken the plateform, which I also did. Catch lights, great idea, tried to put some in, but too much work to get it right. So here is my take....

Critique hard...hmmmm....
- Have some sort of light source, even if it's just a flash dialed down low to put that catch-light in their eyes.
- Come time to smoov, you took their skin textures right to the edge of oblivion. I would dial it back a bit, especially for the guy.
- I think a very faint dark gradient across the deck at the bottom would help emphasize their faces.
- The pose rocks. Very graceful lines
- "It's got a good beat and I can dance to it, so I'll give it an 8."

Nice shot, Jim... I think the only "negative" for me is just that the light is a bit on the flat side... but it's a well composed and exposed photo none the less. The slow shutter speed gives a sense of motion and angle of the stream draws ones eye into the frame... Cheers, Gary
