Default Engagement Critique
Please help! I took some engagement pics of a couple yesterday. The pics are for the newspaper announcement so I didn't want to go crazy with the poses. I played it really safe. I converted them to B/W and made some corrections to them. Did I over expose them? Is there anything I could have done better? Please excuse the first pic, it downloaded weird. Thanks for any comments!

I like the lighting in the last pic cause it narrowes her face. I think that's what you should do in those cases. And her hair makes her face wider. Wrong do. Not my business-I know.

I agree about the hair do. I tried my best to crop and work with angles to get the best pose. Thanks for the comment!
