I haven't really tried this "photo critique" section before, usually posting in "share your photos". Constructive critique is always welcome on my images, but I thought posting in this section this time.
What I try looking for myself when taking images like this is colors that makes sense together (complimentary, contrast), depth in the images with a foreground and background giving it a sense of depth, and catching some nice light. The light here was a bit challenging, since it was in the middle of a sunny day, but that was the time we had available that worked for both of us. I generally tend to go for back-lit and then you can raise the exposure easily on the model and make the shadow side a but warmer, and adding some contrast with D&B. What I often come back to reviewing my own images are composition/framing. Viewing on larges screens you get into the details of the images, but on mobile devices you tend to see the general composition a bit more. Particularly in the closer shot here I feel that it might be a bit too much air to the top and/or left, but the tighter crop didn't really feel right either. Like to hear your thoughts
