I took this last night of my fiance and I.
It is VERY basic, but tell me what you think....

1/160, f/5.6, ISO 400
7D with my Sigma 30mm
Canon 430exii into 45" photoflex convertible umbrella above us at 1/4 power
Triggered by Cactus v5s
and a reflector to camera right.

WHO'S that dude, mackin' on your girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh,wait...it's you...nevermind..

As mentrioned, a bit hot on the skin tones. I would also crop the empty space on the left, and make this a square.

What they said. It's a keeper. GREAT expression on her face. She's far too pretty for the guy sniffing her ear.

Chris,
I took the Original size from Flickr, pulled it into Lightroom, and wanted to see how much too hot the skintones were. Piddling amount, a Minus 0.15 EV and a tiny bit of highlight recovery made it perfect. I added a bit of Red saturation for your shirt, and then cropped to a square-ish aspect ratio which I though maximized the shot. Nothing else was done, then I sharpened it for Screen, High, and outputted it at 96 dpi, and set it to constrain image to 2,000 k or smaller.

Whaddaya' think?
