I think this needs a little more contrast or a softer focus.

If this was a candid: good job, but tighter cropping would have hid her tummy. Also could use a little more contrast.
If this was staged: Would be better with the sunglasses off, put him in something a little more classical (to match the timeless quality of her sweater), and remove his watch, which is a bit distracting to my eye. A different angle - showing less of his face and more of hers - would be preferable (because let's face it, women are generally better to look at than men are!) :)

In serious need for level adjustment, the shadows are way to light.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but this would have been so much more awesome if there was an old guy (possibly her father for story sake?) coming down the tunnel. The two would be getting their final kiss before she's whisked away to a convent somewhere in spain. Great shot anyway 7

nice shot- more contrast (darker darks, specifically) would make it really good!

The very first kiss, and there you were with a camera? Not likely! LOL. But seriously, the photo looks kind of flat and muddy. Maybe some contrast adjustment would help. I do like that you composed them to the side of the frame to give the viewer a sense of where they are. 5

I think this is an excellent idea that could have been excecuted a little better (IMHO). The sports logos don't go with the theme of the picture and the picture is lacking contrast. Out of curiosity, I ran it through Photoshop and a simple Auto Levels worked wonders instantly. Just a thought.

Good shot, not great though but it looks a bit flat, some contrast boost would help this shot a lot.

I think it looks like the second kiss to me! Nice capture.

Nice romance, but a little too light on one side.

Interesting shot. I feel that the contrast needs to be boosted a little bit on it to get better clarity of tone.

Found the tunnel on the left distracting. Perhaps a tighter crop highlight the two kisser better?

how sweet! But your models look a bit too old for this to be their first kiss. But I give it a high score because it is a great picture!

For a first kiss there sure isn't any trepidation here! The tones are pretty flat. 5

Need more contrast. Good job.
