Looking for critique, options any suggestions would be helpful. Trying to take things to a new level. Thank you. (P.S. Yes, they are both over 21)

Hi, and welcome to DPS chwarf.
Can you check out the forum rules as regards to posting and limit (edit) your post to one image, and include the exif so we can best help you.

one thing I can suggest, right now, (and do take into account it's a taste issue, not fixed in stone) is to never ever ever do the white vigntetting thing.. I think it's soooo bad and is something I'd expect to find in 1970s or 1980s glamour style photos.. and that's not good.

PS what does them being 21 have to do with anything? is it because they're kissing? There's nothing I see there that requires any age appropriateness besides maybe 13?

Thanks for the feedback. The white vigntetting wasn't exactly done on purpose. There was an object in the corner that I was trying to crop out and thought using a oval crop tool was the best way to do it. As far as the age, just trying to quite some conservative critiques.

maybe the image has changesd since BF commented as I don't see a white vignette(?)
I like the image, I like the pose and the tone. I like how the light from between the trees is accenting the head. Maybe a tad bit dark, a little lighter to bring out some more shadow detail. One thing for next time would be to have used a reflector to pop a little light in the eyes. Nice capture. looks like a great location as well.
