I would have scored this much higher...at least in the 6's. I think this is a beautiful shot and the simplicity, tones, and feel of the shot are excellent.

If the sun was between the people it would be really cool. Neat water in the for ground.

I love this shot! I like the texture in the foreground, the way the sun just peeks out behind the gentleman, and the sliver of separation between the lovers' faces. Looks like they are just about to kiss! Well done!

Greetings!

Lovely image, well composed and the colors are great. Technically, its well shot, the colors in sky and silhoutte are captured nicely, the reflection in the foreground adds interest.

I agree with the comment about sun emerging from the back of the person. I would have definitely liked it to be hidden behind or in between the couple and not behind him.

if you have any questions, feel free to pm me

thanks,
Gaurawa
