Engagement Sesh- C&C

[the urban photo]

I took these for a friend of mine yesterday and wanted to know what you guys thought of them.
Please let me know what you guys like and dislike!

I'm thinking her outfit might be a little blown out in the first shot... So I wouldn't be surprised if you guys mentioned it. Let me know what you think.

Thank you!

Comments per req:

1. Her outfit is definitely blown; did you discuss clothing choices with the couple before-hand? I would submit that one person in black/dark-blue and the other in white might not have been the best choice. Her outfit is is really lost against the white background as well. I can't say for sure, but they appear slightly soft to me.

2. Personally, I'm not overly fond of the flare used ehre, but that's a stylistic choice. Once again, it appears that you've missed focus; the right strap of her top (image left) appears sharply focused, but her face is definitely soft. It is a nice image, but don't forget to carry a lint-roller in your bag so that you can clean the bits off of dark clothing, such as his shirt.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

What I like: composition and processing
What I'd fix next time: like tired iron said, the photos are soft so with the processing it makes things too blurry and key points like eyes, smiles and such are lost. And I agree on the lint roller or spot healing it.

I think they need to fill more of the frame in #1, and it's just a straight on shot. Maybe crop it to fill the frame more, and get that sack out of the bottom right corner.
