Made with a Canon Powershot A70

As I was cycling over a bridge I saw these two sitting on a grass roll in the middle of a large field. I just could not resist taking the photo.
Please let me know what your thoughts on this image.

I like the idea, but I don't like the composition. I think it would have been better done from a slightly different perspective and in horizontal format as opposed to vertical. Maybe you could have moved more to the left to try to eliminate that train or whatever that is in the background and zoom in just a little more just to make the people a tiny bit larger on the image? It needs a little post processing too..seems a little undersaturated.

Could use a bit more contrast and some green saturation.

There is nothing much to do about the perspective then moving left or right. As I said I am standing on a bridge :)
There is also to much going on on the sides. Here is a view of the right side where a concert is just about to start (you can see the above field on the top left):

Anyway I cropped it differently and you are right, it looks better. I just can not zoom in too much, that is the limit of a 3MP digital cam.
I also added a bit more contrast. On the first one there was no postprocessing done at all.
Hope you like this better.
