It's a good photo, but could use some contrast in Photoshop to make it pop. I agree with the statement about the heads intersecting the horizon.

Other than that, it really is nice.

Anyone else care to take a try at PP? I don't really care for the first one.

The edit is nice, but I think the background is so saturated, it almost looks as if the couple was photoshopped onto it.

I actually would've bumped levels, like so:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/png'


Also, make sure that you're saving your photos in sRGB before hosting on the web. When I opened it up in Photoshop, it felt like some saturation was added.

Wow tough crowd, admittedly I do tend toward the heavily processed look but those are the kind of clients I work with. Please forgive the transgression, here is one not quite so over the top and warmed up a bit as someone else suggested.

Here is what I did. I selected the couple out did a 3 pixel feather on my selection lightened them up and added contrast. then I inverted the selection and brought down the exposure on the background in levels, then deselected every thing and added saturation to the entire image. This is a quick edit and I left the halo around them for speeds sake but with a bit more time and care that could go away.

It's a good picture but it's a little flat. I agree with what Tim said...better lighting would've made it much better.

I love the idea, but it almost feels as if the couple was shot on a green screen. they just seem out of place in the picture.
