Critique Club Review:

Focus and depth of field are done well.

Lighting, color, contrast, saturation and hue are also done very well. The whites look bright without losing detail, and the blacks are black but not featureless.

The crop is a bit tight on the right, he has no arm. The umbrella is at a bit of an odd angle and seems to distract a little.

Personally, I would like to see their faces. This pose has more of a snapshot feel, than a crafted piece. Upon continued reflection, I think getting rid of the umbrella completely would further focus attention on the difference in their hair and clothing.
