Default First Engagement Shots...Errr?!?!

I took these shots on the weekend for a good friend of mine and her fiance. I do a lot of street/city stuff typically, so this was different for me. Please do not hold back on the comments, I wasn't too thrilled with the results, though the couple loved them.

I've moved these from the critique section. Please review the http://digital-photography-school.co...rum-rules.html.

Oh I really like them...my favorite is the second, but I love the expanse of the first too. Well done, and if they like them...that's what counts.

In my humble opinion: the first image could have been better without the horizon line at the center. It looks like a wonderful spot, why not experiment with the couple from different extreme angles? The icy patches would have made great contrast if they were laying down on them...

The second one is good. A little over exposed but I like the couple in it. In the others,the guy needs to take his hands out of his pockets and put them on her. The last one would be a great shot had he been leaning on the wall with his right arm and had his left hand interacting with her. Compositionally, I like all 4.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will keep everything in mind for next time. I felt really rushed on this shoot, not sure why.

maybe it's the compression for uploading but they look overly sharp...
