Couple portraits downtown

[qtranva]

This is my first couple shots in the city. Thanks to the advice I received from my other post asking about shooting downtown. I had done a few sessions at local parks and this time I wanted to try it in an urban setting. I think I prefer this type of setting better than the park. Anyway, any comments or critique about the photos would be appreciated. Thanks.

Very nice work! Try dialing down the whites a bit, you're blowing out your highlights some with that processing technique.

I like the series a lot. The last one is just beautiful to me. What is that behind them?

Thanks Suzy! I think the background is some sort of door/gate to a garage or something. I thought it was interesting with the pattern.

@gholman12 - Thanks. I wasn't expecting her wearing an off white coat like that. Too easy to blow out highlights.
