Is that a couple? They don`t really look like they are together...Watch for your background and may be use a more shallow DOF for a nice bokeh and to make the background less distracting.

Svetlana is right, but the highlights are what is bothering me the most. The couple is a bit bright. You might also want to call their names next time and get them both to look at you at the same time.

i would also watch for distracting bgrounds like that car.

thank you! thank you! I tired cloning out the car but no luck with my lack of ps knowledge. I'll give it another shot.

What do you mean by highlights books64? How should i go about changing it?

Thanks!

Cloning is the quick method .... but the other members are suggesting you to think about the entire picture you are about to take....

• There is your subject - the couple .....
  • how do they look, are they looking at you, are they smiling, do they have something in there teeth?
  
  
• Exposure of the couple.... which books64 is referring to. By exposing the image so bright - it washes the clothing detail out.
  
• then there is the background..... do you want to see it w/ detail or do you want it blurred?
  • What focuses the attention on the couple..... blurred background.
    
  • can i chose a different angle?
    
  • or move the couple slightly to get a better background

the colour is different because of the colour profile ps is using compared to your browser prob
