I like this one. The tree looks like it is dancing with them.

Coming back to comment - Unique way of having the tree in your photo. I like the use of shadows in this and nice lighting on the couple.

Wonderful portrait, extremely intimate and romantic, very Cartier-Bresson but perhaps even better.

Remarks: Despite the toned-down brightness/contrast, highlight details are lost in the white shirt. On the other hand, the arboreal silhouette drawn here works such wonderful magic both aesthetically and compositionally, I cannot help but imagine the dancers as proxy via the shadows they throw. Their, perhaps, unavoidable inclusion (as sources for their shadows) strikes me as nearly redundant in this context.

Given the interest and quality of competing entries in this challenge, there can be no contest, IMO. It is and remains, in my view, the only photograph to consider.

Very nice shot - dancers are much more interesting than the trees though...
