I get the male/female chemistry thing, although I think it's a pretty weak concept for this challenge (IMHO), but in this photo even that doesn't come across that well because we really can't see the subject's faces. Sorry, just my opinion.

Interesting idea and a cute model. A few too many toys though have made the scene quite busy. Putting the hat on him would have been reeeeally cute btw.

you captured a really nice moment but the photo is marred by the guy in the background wearing his nice red shirt from Walmart

this would be really nice if it was pulled in on the couple only

It has a snapshot-ish feel, but kudos for a unique interpretation of chemistry.

I'm sorry, but this is clearly DNMC. This challenge is about the "science of chemistry".

I find it a pity when I have to lower the score of a beautiful image because it doesn't meet the challenge. However, here I don't have this problem. This picture is more of a snapshot. The composition is random, we cannot see the couple's faces and the background is full of distractions. I really don't understand why you submitted this image.

She looks exhausted, and is (hopefully) being helped to a chair where she can rest for a bit. Shot from the other side, where you could see both their faces, might have shown more of the chemistry you're looking for.
