Next time try to get in closer and have a nice tight face shot with him looking at you. EOS 5D II, 40D, Sony R1, Olympus 1030, Canon S5-IS.

I think the quality of the exposure is right on, Nice use of fill flash from the camera. Great focus on the eyes. True, it is always more captivating to have a less busy BG, and the subject looking at the lens, but this is a very nice candid. Excellent start with a lot of potential on your part. Practice, practice, and practice some more, and when you think you have got it right, start over.

When she notices that camera pointing in her direction, she has this thing about going into silly poses...  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

....You got a great exposure there with nice colors but his interest seems to be elsewhere. I think this pic would've been better had you gotten some eye contact with the camera.
