My wife wanted to do photos for our Christmas card while I was home in November. So, in 86 degree heat, we headed to the St. Simons Island with my tripod and plenty of ambition. This ended up being the shot we chose. I'm lucky my wife is gorgeous or we would have struck out, lol.

Nice moment and I like the rim light. My critical recommendation is to clone the Benz? SUV out of the background.

I definitely considered doing that, but for some odd reason my wife liked it, so it stayed. But you're so right. I should have taken the couple minutes to do that.

The top left is a little bit overexposed for me but its probably the best crop for this shot so its fine. i give 3 Stars

Yeah, I feel you. It's tough being the model and photographer, lol. Thanks for the feedback.

I would have added a small light burst to better blend in the over exposed portion on the top left and definitely cloned out the SUV. Otherwise, great shot, nicely lit and I know I'd be happy to have a shot like this with my wife and I on a couples shoot. Good job.
