The leaf of the left distracts from the image, but the leaf on the right is FANTASTIC!!!

Comment by jennaca:
The larger out-of-focus leaf in the foreground is distracting. I think the photo would be more effectivei f you would have gotten rid of that. The rest is beautiful.

Nice. Great sharpness and texture in the one leaf.

Comment by persimon:
I think this image would be more effective had you taken some time to pick up the surrounding leaves to have just the one leaf in the grass. As is, the browns dominate and detract from the red and green. Nice composition and subject, just a little too may other leaves.

This is going to be a bit harsh critique I guess.
I read your profile and you said you want to learn to do portraits well.
So by saying how much I like this, you won't learn I guess.
Let me say first that I like the idea, and that your photo is crisp and sharp.
But there are some distracting things going on here.
As people mentioned, the gray on the womans face looks very unnatural, and the face of the man is too dark.

I am not a portrait master or a studio expert, but the lighting, intentional or unintentional is not my taste. There is a big black shadow on the guy's face, and some major hot spots on the womans face.
If you have those two flashes, with softboxes and umbrella's just go and experiment with light setup, get your girlfriend, kid, brother, sister, mother over for a cup of coffee and start shooting until you really understand what those flashes can and can't do, why they do it and how to use them in different situations under different circumstances.
Practice makes perfect.

This has potential, if you put your mind to it, I know you can do it.
I'll keep my eye on you and see what you come up with.

Keep on shooting.

Burning on the side of her face is painfully obvious here. :(
