Engagement Reflection

Thoughts???

Idea is b nice but the reflections are bit crowded or make the composition feel crowded. Also I think reflections on a nicer surface would work better

I like the photo but really don't like those reflections... too distracting

I'm a sucker for shots like this; it might not be the best surface, but that's like saying... "Yeah, I know it was the Sasquatch, but the lighting wasn't quite right." It's what was there at the time. That said, given the strength of the images in the foreground, I might have been tempted to have the reflections sharply focused and the couple fairly soft.

I like it! Though, I do think they seem a tad bright, but I suppose it does the job of getting the attention on them.

Nice idea but I think there are some issues.
There is some perspective distortion so the poles are slanting and the building edge is upright.
Their faces and clothes are washed out.
The background is bright and the figures sort of merge into it.
The reflections fight with the figures for attention.

If I can post a crude edit, you can see what I mean.

I am fascinated by the dual reflections of the couple, and specifically the laterally reversed positioning of them---that makes this an interesting, gimmick reflection shot. The people off to the right though...they seem a bit hot...need to tone that down a bit. **WE** are not the target audience for this photo, so...I think the couple will find this an interesting, valuable addition to their set, no matter what. If it's refined a bit in post, it'll be even more pleasing to them.

I think it's a cool shot. I "liked." I can tell it was a tricky area to work in. I don't have much to complain about here. It works for me.
