Greetings from the Critique Club.
Very funny picture - this was one of my favourites in the challenge (partly because it was a nice change from seeing yet another cute kid on phone). Congratulations on the originality.
The lighting is good, the positioning of the models seems just right, and I love the expression on the girl's face. However, as has been commented on before, the background is unnecessarily cluttered. The ring should be in a slightly more central, prominent place, and there's no real reason for the plates on the table and the stuff on the walls - it doesn't add to the picture, it just acts as a distraction. The line of the wall corner going past the guy's head isn't ideal either - really, just a table and a blank piece of wall would have served the purpose much better. Also, I think cutting off the guy's back works well, but I'm not sure about cutting off the girl slightly - since she's the one receiving the proposal, she should possibly be included completely in the picture.
I think the post-processing is very good. The border is just right - it frames and controls the image without dominating it as borders often do. Sepia is a matter of personal taste and doesn't necessarily have universal appeal, but I happen to quite like it.
Anyway, well done on an interesting image.
Any questions - just PM me.

| Funny shot & great idea. For staging this more background stuff could have been taken out. Have to look twice to notice the ring. - 7 |

| Definately a sign of the times... although I'm surprised neither is getting a picture of the other person or the ring. I like the B&W and the composition, expect for the little wall shelves growing out of their shoulders like gaurdian angels. |
