    This is well done overall Yisehaq and I'm SURE the models will love it. The pose is playful and the models look good. The tones here are lovely.

    A couple of points - The girl's eyes look a tad oversharpened to me and it may have been better to include the fingers on the hands.

    Hope that helps - Marko

    Hmmmm... First off let me say that I think the couple will be very happy with the image, generally it's a good shot. On the forum here though we tend to be very picky on details with a critique. Marko hit the highlights with the oversharpened eyes and the missing appendages and elbow. I would add that the hotspots above her head and to their right are a bit distracting and while I like the general colour tones there's something about her face that feels washed out or flat or something. Sorry, can't describe it well but it's just the feeling I get. All in all, nice work. The obviously relaxed and comfortable pose is worth a lot more than all of those details combined I think.

    That is one of the issues why I had to post this for critique. I think the lighting was not that good and I have also missed the exposure.

    It's a very good picture, but it seems to be a picture of a woman with a man, i.e. the woman dominates the picture. However, I still like the picture, your treatment of it works very well.

    You've nailed it on the head. The man was a bit reluctant, but the boss's order had to be followed.
