This is classic - the subject's expression is perfect, and the point of view is really neat. Nice use of black and white! :)

You've captured the moment well, what a lovely happy face the girl has and nicely cropped too. I would have liked to see his expression and perhaps a little sharper too but with similar DOF of the girl. Good range of tones but I think red wine in a plain glass may have worked even better. Good luck

Nice emotive shot. Certainly leaves the viewer wondering what the story is. I associate the title and setting with an engagement type announcement yet it appears to be a man that is surprised. Did she propose to him? Did he win something? Did he just find out he's going to be a new dad? Hmmm...hopefully the story will surface after the challenge?

You did a nice job of isolating the glass and liquid for the desat. I think it would be a tad stronger if you had left the non-liquid part of the glass in grayscale (stem and uppper glass above the liquid).
