[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photogenic couple was walking down the street in San Rafael. I asked if they would pose for a photo and they agreed....I used to take candid pictures of people with a longer lens but this approach is working better. Now I can get eye contact and with the burst mode on the camera have a better chance of capturing better expressions.

What a perfect couple portrait Roger, I bet they are very happy with this one.
There is a great quality to the shot.
Is there kind of a subtle but soft filter effect?
Great work again.

You've caught a nice portrait here of these two people. Again the b&W is good because it shows textures better than colour does..
A good shot..

I really like the soft look of this one Roger. Great eye contact from both of them - I'm sure they must be very happy with this! Great job.

Nice! A photogenic couple indeed, and the eye contact here is warm and intimate - you really make the viewer feel involved.

The light here is excellent too, flawless and diffuse and has created a real warm tone that matches the expressions. A nice contrast between the tones of their hair, hers darker, his lighter.

This is a very nice shot and I agree, the lens worked very well for you!

Hi Roger,
You captured the smiles of this couple very well, the expression of happiness on their faces is well seen. They suggest harmony. Great portrait in black and with, perfect lights... TFS.
Greetings,

What a cute couple!! Really nice work on this Roger, good levels and I like that natural smile they have, rather than the cheesy posed ones! HAHA! Good work here!
