Technically, this photo is not good at all. In fact, it's terrible. I guess it can be used as a textbook example on fixing mistakes.

But, the emotion that this photo conveys, the genuine smile and the placement of the hand close to heart, is so powerful, that only soulless people can't feel. This photo deserves much much more.

Good luck with the next challenges.

Considering the camera, this isn't a bad shot. I hope to see what else you are capable of doing with so limited means.

Good concept, lovely body and facial expression. The size of the image (as will have been mentioned) and the lighting are areas that could be improved. Good work though, this really does feel romantic.....you've captured that feeling well.

This is a small, grainy, overexposed snapshot of someone who appears to be pledging allegiance to his country of choice. The picture does not contain a clear depiction of romance. The image appears to have been overexposed because the camera was metering on the black sweater; making sure that the camera is exposing for his face would have resulted in a better exposure. Removing the distracting item from behind his shoulder would have also improved the photographic merit of the photo.

I like the "hand-over-heart" pose, but the photograph does not belong in this challenge; it looks as though it was taken at work with a camera-phone. Sorry if this is harsh.
