Engagement photo

Yes I had them sit very still this was 1 of 7 shots I took of them on the rock, they were very cooperative I also used a flash on a 2nd curtain sync.
Here is another shot of the same couple from a different angle. You can see when the flash went off it caught a splash in the water by his left foot. I edited it a bit in photoshop to give it a slightly out of focus look, I thought it softened up the picture a bit.

I was just coming to ask the same thing!!

But I do love the misty look of the water because it was captured over such a long exposure period. Nice job!

Long exposure time makes water look like the clouds... Like they are sitting on a mountain top that peaks trough the clouds into the sky... If you crop it, this look could be lost.

(This is for the 1st photo)

Also my first thought. Well done!

All good critiques. I esp agree with the slight of skin showing under the shirt. I would also like to suggest cropping off-center, maybe cloning some of the water and expanding the canvas to the left. that tiny rock... =)
