Jason, I like the pair and the pose. The tonal range seems reasonable for flat light, but I might still set a white and black point to see if the colors clear up a tad. The pair looks a little soft in the larger view to my eye. If you loaded DPP (Digital Photo Pro) that came with the 7D, it may be worth checking the focus point used just to see where it was given the F5.6. It won't show (red) if you were in AI Servo, but even seeing the grid overly can be helpful. Don't forget you can always download the latest version free. Just look up the 7D on Canon's web site and go to support. You will find the download link under the software category. the current version is much better than the original.

I like the paired pose, the reflections and how the flat light lets the water make a nice gentle background. I would like to see a bit of detail in the black heads (especially a hint of their eyes).

Nice complementary poses, Jason, and the exposure looks pretty good. They're small enough in the frame that I really can't tell about focus, but it looks ok to my eye. I do wish there was some light in the eyes-it would improve this image a lot, I think. Sometimes it's just not there, but it's always good to try to position yourself where your subjects are likely to have some light in their eyes.
