I think it's good. Better lighting of the couple could've made it very good.

How do you mean, better lighting?

I'd bump the saturation... but I also would have underexposed the ambient more and warmed it up in RAW. I don't really care for the crop and camera height. The horizon should have been at her shoulders instead of his IMO. A slight tilt might turn it around too. ;) You seem to value the truth... this is what I see. Hope that helps.

IMO, off camera flash would have helped this photo by giving the couple more depth. Maybe it might work to see the couple head to toe to give the scene more context - maybe not.

Regardless, its a good shot!

Trying to bump the saturation as already suggested to try and bring as much color out of the background as possible may help to improve this already good shot.

I agree with the above posts, I think it is deffinatly workable after a little PP. I did a quick edit if its ok I'll post it here with what I did to it.

Just bumped the saturation in the clouds. His face went a little ruddy on me but this literally took about 5 seconds to bump up the sat and clone the bird I was not paying attention to the details. I actually like the blue. Good photo.

the second edit looks way oversaturated to me. perhaps it could use a touch more saturation, but not that much. also, the girl's neck looks a little strained. i thought the lighting on the couple looked right, just the background could be a touch darker. otherwise i think its pretty good.

I think that photo looks amazing, and the client would be EXTREMELY impressed.

comments above are good, but my biggest problem is that the heads intersect the horizon. I think a slightly different angle would create less conflict with the background.
