Portrait C&C

[Ecas32]

i had taken this photo a few months ago and was just going through all my photos and wanted to know what yall thought about it.
this was my first portrait with my rebel XSi. i shot this free handed and touched it up in post.

1/60, F4.5, ISO 400

I think patience is a virtue.

35 mins go by and you don't get CC... chill.

Comments: The background is very busy. I find myself looking at the globe more than the people. And they have a star right between their heads from the book in back.
Rule of 3 might apply...ie they look too centered / there is too much empty space above their heads.
They also seem a bit red, but this could be their general skin complexion.
Nice expression on the lady's face

From what I have seen in my short time here, the lack of CC on a picture means that it is middle of the road. Nothing truly horrible about it, and its nothing really extraordinary. I've had quite a few of mine go through with minimal comments as well.
