Great title. Very clever. Certainly suits the challenge. The contrast of the lady bugs on the white is great. Bumping up on 2nd review.

First Impression - the most important one:
What a lovely impression this couple makes .. I kinda hope their kid wins!

Composition:
This is ok .. not fantastic wow type. Things to look at would be having a person on their left side with a good DOF type blur on them as well as those on their right side ... hard to do I know.

Subject:
It met the challenge, and I think that you met the challenge well ... what is funny is you got the same comments I got ... "would like to see more of their faces"... hard to turn when you can't let them know you are photographing them without giving up the game :)

Technical (Colour and light):
As you said ... light was not good but I think you did good with what you had.

To get a Ribbon?:
It was a good solid photo, it just lacked the added wow that the ribbons got this time ... I think it is a very good shot though.

Summary:

Good shot, maximised what you had ... and going on to do better and better things ... it was a good try.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Very interesting image. I think a tighter crop to remove some of the left and the bottom of the image would have added a little more impact to this.

the subject matter is wonderful but the picture is so washed out with light. try adjusting it with your digital dark room would be my suggestion.

I wish there was more detail of the fishermen - looks overprocessed
