Good idea, too bad the dogs are too dark and there's a lot of unnesessary background.

Sun flare is distracting, no detail in the black of the dogs because of the harsh sunlight, not sure how this fits the theme of romance.

Nice idea, but, overall, too "sanpshot" (glare in lens, silhouetted subject, thoughtless background, etc.).

Cute picture, but the top third of the picture should have been cropped out.

I'm sure they are your pets and you love them but there is nothing here that inspires romance to me; I'm rather scared by the mean expression on the right side dog :(
Also the overal quality of the photo doesen't help (snapshot, bad light, no composition)

You are requesting a very far strecth of the viewers imagination by depicting 2 dogs with a stick as a visualisation of romance.
Taking the photo pointing the camera towards the sun has caused the pink and white lense flare, and caused the dark dogs t5o have no details. The various clutters and distractions in the background does not compliment the subjects of the image.

Shame about the over-exposer on the grass and the blur on the trampoline. It really looks like a snap-shot.
