Interesting - I just read over some of the comments and I have to disagree with quite a few. I like the light, and I like it blown. I like the motion of the hand caused by the slow shutter speed. Composition works very well, and I rather think the softness/lack of sharp focus lends itself nicely to this picture and its tone.
First Impression Nice shot.
Composition: Good Composition.
Subject: Nice, meets the challenge
Technical (Colour and light): The focus is very soft on the faces. I don't know if it's over done in proceesing or not. Not sure if you use NI to reduce noise. But the focus in not there quite right on the faces.
Improvement: Focus.
Summary: Nice over all image lacking the proper focus or processing is over done.
How goes it? Sorry this is a tad late but better then never yeah?
So, I really like this shot & its title. Its a nice candid capture. Some things I would do differently tho, are as follows:
- Settings on the cam- if I'm using a 1600 ISO, i would definitely use a faster shutter spped. In fact, I would use a 1/60 shutter spped. Would have avoided the hand trail in the gesture. Also, the lamp prolly wouldn't have been overexposed.
-Since the lamp was a but blown, I would have cropped it out or shot the scene from a different angle.
- Too much neat image or whatever noise remover yu used. It's overkill, at least fo rmy taste.
I do like the colours in the shot, it's deep, subtle & rich. All in all, it's good stuff!
Hope this helps.

I liked this shot a lot. The interaction between the two people is great, and the subject is interesting.
The blur caused by the man's hand movement is a little distracting. I like the lamp, and the glow that's cast from it, leading to the couple.
Nice shot.
First, I will tell you that the color and tone is really nice. I liked that this was the rare shot with people in it.
However, I still think that the lamp is very distracting and would have cropped it out. Maybe even better would have been taking up a position more to the left, slightly in front of the couple and excluding the lamp.
It's a shame that there was so much motion in the shot, but I wonder if a shutter speed just one click faster might have helped a bit? I don't think that a slightly darker photo would have hurt the scene. But mostly I think it would have been better to use some models instead of attempting a night candid. They're near impossible.
A more expansive comment than the one I left during voting, eh? ;-)
Composition: I like it, he on the very right and she more centered.
Subject: wonderful. You take a good subject and original on the challenge. She seems so in love with him!
Technical: the colors are a bit desaturated, but I like them that way. The light in her is great, but in him is a bit too dark. The focus is the main flaw IMO. She is not very sharp.
Improvement: First of all, the sharpness. I know how difficult is in that low light conditions, but if you could achieved her with a tack sharp focus this photo would have bumped a lot its score. The other thing is about the light on the top; it's a bit distracting. I'm not sure but maybe if you could make it in landscape and left more space on the left. But that's just an opinion.
Summary: Very nice work. It's your second highest score, so it isn't so bad.
digital cameras always have trouble coping with dark scenes, try and avoid photographing a direct source of light to prevent that 'faded' effect. Nice shot though (7)
Very original picture in this challenge. Very few people shots. The girl is captured perfectly. If not the slight blur I would say it is a top 5 picture (or maybe even with the small blur it is?). Good luck with this one. 9.
Nice photo. Pleasant change from all the architecture and bridges. Has a great candid feel to it. The very bright light in the background is a bit distracting.
