Awesome shot/image. From an amateur's viewpoint (me), this image inspires me... I like the desaturation of the image except for the subject couple. Great technique in long exposure to convey that the "rest of the world is moving on" but "time is standing still for the love birds." Composition and technique is right on to create the concept that the couple are in their own little world...at least that's what I get from it. Has to be a top ten...

Not contrived at all. It's nice to see photos with thinking behind them.
It's certainly an interesting effect. Maybe if you added a bit of noise in the sky you could have eliminated that distracting banding. Also the model's hair looks really stark against the sky, making it look a little cut out.
But don't get me wrong, I think it's an awesome composition and I gave you points for the concept. Nice one.
