Taken from the Bateaux Mouches on a sunset cruise on the Seine in Paris. As we approached this bridge with the gorgeous sunset colors, the couple happened to be strolling across.

Hi Rachel, nice light with the railing creating a strong silhouette. I like the couple but would wish for a bit of separation between the two. I did some severe cropping to give you another idea. Regrettably I had to take some off the back to get the couple away from the middle.

Thanks Dave, the couple was in the middle in my original shot, so I had cropped to more of a ROT position. Your pano crop works also.

Hey Rachel,
Agree with Dave on a bit more seperation but not always possible. In that case a lone figure may have worked a bit better. I do think Dave's pano crop does work also.....so nice options to have! I think the colors are great and more speration would have put this over the top!

Very nice colors, I don't mind the figures together, but I think more sharpness would help the silhoulette.
