I dont really care about scores on this one..it's for my Mother and Father who were married for 42 years before he passed away, 17 years ago this March...and for my Mother alone, who will be turning 80, also in March.
Sponged the whole pic and since everything but the flowers were black and white to start, it left some color in them.

very nice arrangement and tribute to your parents - I love the soft tones and faded colour - very well done - if I could change anything is would be the stems behind the picture of your mom
I'd have liked this better if the man's picture hadn't been so obscured by the dried flowers. The lighting is rather flat; increasing the contrast would help this image to have a little more punch. Maybe it's just due to the style of the old portraits, but somehow this shot seems a lot more emotionally sterile than anything entered in a Romance challenge should be. The look on the woman's face looks more like sad determination (to stick with the relationship?) than heated passion.
I like the compostion, The chain is well placed. The detail is good, yet the soft feel maintained. The crop and busy- feel of the photo may turn some people off/
