while waching the sunset, i saw these two lovely couple having a walk and having a a gr8 time, it looked really romantic to me, and really touched my heart, and thought to myself they look really cute! i have to take that shot!

in my opinion love is the sweetest pain...
wat do u think?

PP: cropped off the lower side of the photo, as ther was too much sand takin up the image.
added focal B&W effect size 100% sharpness 2%.
slightly increased color saturation and shading so get a darker sillhouette figure of the two coupels.

im all open to comments, suggestions, notices, they will be really helpful and useful to me as im only a beginer...

thanx 4 passin by =)

Hi there :)

You have a good eye, this is an interesting composition. It does strike a bit as "too" unoriginal though (I feel as if I've seen this picture a million times, on CDs, books, etc.)

Increasing the shading to get the darker silhouettes was a good move, increasing the saturation was not. I think there's too much distortion. There's also a lot of JPEG artifacts, you would've needed less compression - image size is only 46kb

I'm afraid the troubles began before PP, in the sense that you would've had better chances with other camera settings while taking the photo. In specific, I would've chosen a smaller aperture and/or higher shutter speed. This way, you would've got the dark silhouettes ready without having so much distortion around the sun.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Suhailah,

Definately a very sweet image. What looks lovely here is their body language, so comfortable and at ease, and I'm sure they were unaware of you taking the image. The image is very well taken, the colours are rich and enhance the mood of the image. What PP program do you use? TFS for this!

Biance.

good work...
Beatiful sunshine...
