White balance is way off. Looks like a super old scanned magazine cover. I should've done custom WB...

I'd venture to guess it's shot with the sonnar.

It's a good image, I like the light on the couple. Some catchlights would be nice. The white curves in the background are distracting.

Nope, 70-200/4L. I should bust out that Sonnar again... it's a white balance issue haha.

I tried to make the curves work into the image somehow. More bokeh (OOF) and lower might have worked better.

Catchlights would've been nice... any suggestions? I need to get an assistant and a giant reflector. Or fill flash possibly. This was shot in the shade IIRC.

Nice pose. The pink thing between their heads is distracting and there seems to be alittle to much geen hue. They are a good looking couple and should make for some great photo opportunities for you.


I just got my first pair of glasses that I didn't think I needed. I apologize to anybody in the past year that I said their pictures were out of focus lol.

IT woul;d have been interesting if oyu used some kind of fill light in the picture, like a refelctor. It would have helped the background from overexposing. NIce picture though/

There is this option.. White Balance? we don't need no steenking White Balance!:) Problems aside, it's a nice capture. i often notice the shots we (photographers) dismiss because of technical issues are still appreciated (sometimes loved!) by the subjects/clients.
