A very impromptu shot on the way out to dinner with the fiance'. One speedlight on the balcony to her left. I've edited this six ways from sunday, and think I finally found a look I like. What do y'all think? What would you do different, and what issues do you see?
As we were planning our shoot, Iria said she needed a swimwear look. I wanted lifestyle with my car. We compromised. I think it turned out great. Hope you like it.

I have made sure to keep the original, but I've done this photograph the way you can see here. I've also done it in monochrome.
I passed this place on my way to an appointment yesterday, and I just knew I wanted to photograph it on my way home. That's precisely what I did.

The idea is very nice. In my personal opinion it would have more impact if it was cropped closer.
I tried something I hope you don't mind. I attached two examples. It is of course a matter of taste.
I like the post editing,
Thank you for the time you spent on your response! This is EXACTLY why I post here. I agree completely with your crop idea. In my mind this was a more "scenic" shot, and was blown up and printed large format, but I don't think it translates very well small. Unfortunately, this was a very quick couple of shots on our way out the door to dinner, so I didn't take time to get multiple composures. Lesson learned! haha
Keep it up
Hi, Christopher, can you upload the RAW file so we can have a little play with it? it would be great if you would share a dropbox link perhaps?
Try this.

I've learned that my screen was wayyyy too bright. I had an uncalibrated MacBook Pro on full brightness when I was editing this.
I'll see what I can do about uploading a RAW file.
Too much brightness for me, it don't reflect the real dark ambiance of the scene, and the tone of the little light isn't present at all.
