Good DOF, nice textures. The composition of the big stone against the background is too stable for my taste. I would rotate the image 30° clockwise, if cropping allows that. You'd get much more dinamic lines and the stones would look even less stable, thus more difficult to balance. 5.

Comment by metoecus:
The harsh highlights combined with the murky shadows seriously detract from the image. The highlight on the guy's hand / chin is quite distracting. Since the couple seems to be the focus of the image the DOF should have been shallow enough to render the guy with the shiny glasses as a shadowy blob. The clutter on the left side of the image seems to serve no purpose. Even if all these technical issues were fixed I'm still not convinced I'd find the couple particularly interesting.

Good lighting. You might want to put a plain background to simplify. Great rocks.
