    I would start by cropping tight on the left side and getting rid of all that white nothing. When an eye goes to a photo, the first place it goes is to the brightest spot. - Terry

    Agree with Terry, next brightest spot is her face, then yours - that's where the focus should be, and it works better with the classic "rules" of composition. Love the B&W though :thumbsup:

    Cute friend, you are in a pretty friendly pose with a girl you just call 'friend' ;) hehe.

    Agreed with terry - personally the only time I like the sky in an image is when there is detail or tonality in it, bright white nothingness as sky I think (almost) always detracts from an image. Otherwise, great shot, I like the exposure and contrast.
