For me, I wish his entire arm were in the fram and maybe no greenery on the right. With just a bit more color saturation or a bit of a stronger light source, your photo would pop even more.

Just wasn't anyting special about this. I like the blur you did, but the subjects look uncomfortable.

Very nice, couple suggestions though:
Color: Color balance is off, there is a blue hue in the photo that is pulling the contrast to flat.

Croppping: His right arm is cut off. Try also cropping off the shoulders, concentrating on their expressions.

Capture of a moment in time, a glance full of meaning and caring, soft touch in the hands and in the eyes. Well seen.

cute couple and pose. the lighting looks a little bit flat and the focus could be bit sharper, hope this helps

Very nice shot. I think this would have been better if they weren't so close to the background so it would be out of focus.

Nice composition but I think maybe a bit too soft, maybe a little bit less gausian blur (if that's what you did) or reduce the opactiy of it.

IMO there are a few thing wrong with this picture. Please do understand my comments as suggestions, not as destructive comments.
Composition: the body positions don't look very natural. The young woman has to bend her heads so far back that her face is not visible and moves into his shadow. Likewise the young man has to bend forwards casting the shadow onto her face. I can't help but being distracted by the rose bushes (?) in the background. The choice of background is not very lucky. All these lines cutting into the young couple. Getting the background (may be a brightly lit area as they are wearing dark clothes) away from them separates and solates them from the background. The lower part of your picture is not really adding. Just the opposite. It takes away because its significantly underexposed. You have to look out for details: his right arm is cropped too tight.
Technically the skin is expose well. The hair could use some bounced light. But the biggest point is that the picture is very versy soft. It almost appears as if the wall in the background is more in focus than the couple.
keep participating on this site and check the details of the top 20 picture of each challenge. I know I learned a lot from the great photogs on this site. And I keep learning from my mistakes as this site points them out to you very clearly, sometimes brutally. Keep shooting.

I very much like the way the couple is looking at each other, though the arms looks a little posed/still. I do think this one is hurt by the color temp (too cool - needs a warming filter either in-camera or in PP) and by the background.

Nicely captured moment but the lighting is very flat. I wonder if a tighter crop of their faces would have been better.

I wish their faces were a bit more in focus.

Nice expressions captured here and that's more than half the battle shooting people. Focus is a tad soft, and it's a bit "flat" as they say, but it looks like natural light and unless you carry around reflectors, it's hard to get natural light to go where you want it to on demand.

Cute snapshot but it feels painfully posed. A bit soft in focus and too tightly cropped on the left.

A great pose and good exposure. I would've liked a little more cripser image and maybe some bokeh to add to the effect/intamacy.
