2 is really adorable.

That seems to be the popular one.

Thanks!

I like #2 too Jesse. I think the first one is very creative too though, and like where you are going with it.

#2, 3 are my faves. I love the light on #2!

These are all great shots! Love what you have going in #1, very cool idea! Number 2 is my next favorite, I wish they had a little more sizzle in their body language though.

Mike, Thanks for the critique.

Now that i think about it the "sizzle" is sometimes missing. I mean, I never really noticed until you mentioned it now.

Any suggestions or thoughts on how I can get a couple to relax and achieve that sizzle?

My faves are 2 & 3. I would LOVE to know the settings on these...care to share? Nice stuff!

Absolutely! I'm currently out of the office and I have a doctors appointment later, but as soon as I get a chance I'll post the settings.

I love the third one......fantabulouse!

Time to share my settings.

Image number 2, I used a Canon 20D with a 50mm 1.4 lens, manual mode (strictly jpegs). Aperature is F2.0 and 1/60th second at ISO 200 and no flash. I shot vertically wth a slight angle and used one of the top focus points to focus on their faces.

The location I chose is one of the Gold Line stations in Pasadena. I saw the grill and knew I wanted to shoot through it. I love shooting through stuff.

Post production: I used the Monday Morning filter from NIK on this image and faded it to my taste. Then I used the burn tool to darken the edges to bring the focus in on the couple.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
