Default Anniversary!!

I took a picture of my friend's one-year anniversary with her boyfriend, and while they were pleased with the results, I felt like there was something missing. It wasn't so much a photoshoot as it was just "take pictures before our date", so the lighting was less than ideal and it kept getting blown-out highlights. I converted it to b&w in post-processing, and did a few other things.

Since this one was one I liked, critique away.

anniversary

If I'm not allowed to put this up, let me know and I'll take it down. But this is the color version.

Great shot! I think I like the B&W version better than the color but I would probable crop the B&W so as to fill the frame more and make it a portrait* setup.

I like the red berries. Maybe do a selective processing where it is B&W but the berries are red.
