Nice colours and I really like the angle you took this at, very dramatic shot.

I think this is really cool looking. I love it. I'm not sure you can use HDR techniques in Basic editing ???? I hope you can. . .that would be awesome.

Great job!

Placing the couple against the sky with fill flash makes an interesting photograph, but kind of unflattering to their faces.

The processing gives the couple a slightly surreal feeling - in some ways I really like that, but I'm not sure everyone will feel the same way

a bit bright on her sweater, perhaps a slightly darker sweater, or less fill light

debatable as to whether the camera is pointed at the main light source.

good color and comp. strong halo from sharpening at his suit distracts. the fill light is so strong, it equals the light from the back and the impression of contre-jour is gone

Very interesting take. The angle is really nice and so is the clarity and expressions on the faces. I wonder how you acheived this effect in basic editing 7
