My wife and I had fun taking this picture. Hope everyone will like it. It took lots of effort to find out the lighting and camera location. This is last minute entry.

Composition:
Positions are good, lamp on table is effective, but the round object, bottom right is distracting. Perspective is off. You look disproportionaly bigger than your wife. Background lines are distracting due to perspective. You may have cropped too tight. Seeing more of you on your knees may have helped.
Subject:
No problem meeting the challenge. Good choice of subject.
Technical:
Since you didn’t give any post processing notes, I can’t comment on your intent. I find the picture too grainy. Your 1600 ISO would not have helped. The lighting created darker shadows on the objects on the right. The sharpness is soft on the two of you, but more defined on the objects on the right. You two have more gray. The eyes keep getting drawn towards the darkside, (sorry I couldn’t resist)
Summary:
I liked your concept, unfortunately the execution created some distractions. Congratulations on this being your personal best.
This one's awesome! It may hve had a little more impact with just the people's shadow instead of the things on the right -- but this is my favorite so far anyway. Good luck.
