Lovers embrace

This is a picture I took of some close friends of mine
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
A charming, well framed double portrait. Obviously great rapport with the couple. I think, though, that more richness could be brought out in the colours by underexposing a little. This would also help you to gain detail in the brightest highlights. The only problem with this approach is that it would cause some underexposure in the man's face, which would have to be dealt with in postprocesing. It's still the way I'd go, myself. A pleasing shot as it is, in any case.

You make a very handsome couple, and of course the pic is fabulous! But the, it's easy if you have two beautifl subjects.... I don't want this to sound as a put-down of your photographic abilities but rather as a compliment.

@Wolfgang Prigge: You are right! It really helps when the subjects you are shooting are cute, beautiful, babies or dogs.
@Maysam: Thanks!
