Yes, good concept. Good composition. The DOF does need to be deeper. She doesn't need to be in focus, but here she is too far out. What makes it worse is the lighting or exposure. Her shirt and the flowers are both blown out.
If she were just a little clearer so that I could tell if she were happy or sad, or just what it is she's doing back there... Maybe sniffing a bouquet of flowers? As it is, without the title I'm just not sure, sorry.
I agree. The idea is really great, but when first looking at the pictures I didn't really get it either. I couldn't tell if she was upset or excited. And it does look very much like a magazine add for the test.
Really like your idea here, and I can tell that you wanted the background a little blurry to make the foreground the main focus, but the background is so blurry it's difficult to even make out what's back there. (One person? Two? A person holding her foot up in the air?) Still like the concept a lot though.

a great idea but i would have gone for failure as it's difficult to make out that it's a couple in the background. you could have had a female your model with her head in her hands
