My first recommendation is to post pics here, rather than a link. Most people here won't click on a link. The only time you should use a link is when you want people to look at an example of work that doesn't belong to you. Other peoples work can't be posted per forum rules.

The pose is really awkward, up the nose shots are a no-go

She also looks like she is really stiff and not having fun! When I do couple shoots I rarely pose them because when they are just being casual you get the best shots! If you're going to go with a pose like the one you have you need to get directly over top of them in order for it to work.

Thank you for the feedback! I felt like she wasn't feeling it, they're not bf/gf but they agree to the shoot, i didn't think it would be as awkward/uncomfortable as it turned out. I tried to get as high over them as i could, balancing on a tree branch while trying to find the right shot is somewhat complicated!
