Nicely posed and setup. Though well composed for their faces, I think it would have more bit with some vignetting to emphasize them more and give them the highest contrast. (Not voting, at least yet, just commenting.)

Such a happy photo -- they look like a lovely couple. So inventive to have them peeking around the corner.

Don't assume that because you have an affinity for your subject, the rest of the world will too. Otherwise, a good workmanlike photo.

Since this is advanced editing, I think this could have been improved a little more. Maybe some more contrast.

Looks like the ole couple still has the lively and fun mischief in them. I think you've captured that nicely. (no vote)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Still playful after 50 years of marriage. It's fun to see this captured in their portrait rather than a more formal shot. Nicely done.

Great composition and very playful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great anniversary pic! They look to be remarkable people with a great sense of fun and adventure. Pictures like these, not awesome sunsets, are why most of us have cameras to begin with.
