I like this, they are looking back at something, yet at their age they probably look back in other ways.

Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:

This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.

As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).

I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion.

not the most engaging of photos...more like a snap shot...but your tones are good

Nice portrait! Make you wondering "where are they looking at?"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:17:45 AM
good conversion to B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.

It's remarkable that you managed this without either one of these people having looked at the camera with some mixture of suspicion or confusion. I'd say you have here the very last moment before one of them did so. It's an image about the tiny margin between one moment and the next. 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:18:22 PM
I like this. I wonder what they are looking at? Are they leaving somewhere they'd rather stay? I like trying to work out their story.

A good study in black and white. I like it.

Nice black and white candid of this couple.

 03/11/2009 04:38:32 PM
This shot looks like this couple has been transported from another time and placed here. Very nice.

They're glad to see you! Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like my grandma. I like black and whites and this one is ok. I think I would have liked it more if you just saw the backs of them walking down the path.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:41:54 AM
This one says so much to me, the B&W does really set it off too.
