Wow, that's really cool :)
In terms of the emotional impact of the picture, it's just perfect. The closeness, the body language, the expressions on their faces - everything conveys being totally lost in each other.
However, I would've altered the post-processing in the following ways:
the white line at the top is distracting, so I would've gone for a tighter crop, also possibly putting them at the right-hand side rather than in the centre, to make the composition more interesting. Increase contract, increase saturation to bring out the colours. Also, their faces are in the shadow, and since it's an advanced editing competition, you can use dodging and burning to shift the focus of the picture - lighten their faces and darken the background. Unsharp mask and Neat Image tend to be the final touches - it makes the picture nice and clear, and their skin more smooth.
Hope you don't mind the edit:

| Great candid moment...I'd crop off the tree on the left and a lot off the top to bring them in closer to the viewer to make us more a part of their intimate moment. :) |
