A stolen moment captured on Sydney Harbour - taken with an unusual lens for street photography - the Tamron 90mm macro shot wide open - but it was the lens I had on the camera at the time :)

suren it. or reprocess it. The halos and blotchy lighting is way to detracting and does not compliment the scene. Maybe just a straight BW conversion and crop to pano, this would accentuate the couple and fort dension too.

x2, it looks a bit weird with that bright spot around them. a very nice image otherwise.

As mentioned there appears to be quite a bit of uneven PP here with halos around the shrubs, a fairly light foreground yet dark foreboding skies.
The light around the couple is IMHO a necessary vehicle to spotlight the subject and can be convincing as the light to the right of them suggests a sunrise or set... but the rest of the lighting and exposure seems wrong.
I think there are promising elements to the composition but I'm not sure the other aspects are recoverable.

Cheers guys for the great feedback - appreciated - here's a different frame which has just had a more straight monochrome conversion (no HDR, etc like the first)

much better, further refinement would be less grass more sky ( just a fraction)
