Couples Portrait - C&C Welcome

[007singh]

Shot on New Years Eve, for a friend and his wife.

Was a 2 light setup, black back drop, canon 350d, ISO200, Canon 17-55, f2.8 @ f5. Manual exposure. 1/160sec.

C&C much appreciated.

This is a photo that needs a question asking. Did the couple like it?

Anything else after that's been answered is nit picking. And if thats what you're after I'd nit pick the female expression, lighting and the cropping of fingers. They could be minor, or negligible

Cheers Andy, they did like it as it happens.

So, when you say the rest is nit picking, it is nit picking that I am looking for! Thanks.

OK, cool!

There's a green colour cast coming in - I'm guessing there's been a Lightroom template added somewhere?

Looks green to me as well.

Try it in monochrome...

Also looks like it doesn't have quite as much dynamic range as it could - are there any true blacks in the image?

nit picking...

lady's expression, fingertip crop, flat hand to camera and i would slim her upper arm a bit.

Thanks all, will try to adjust the colour cast. Was my first real attempt as a cross-processed PP look, needs a little work I take it! lol.

Still blown away by the image from a 7 year old 350d, even though the glass is half good!
