Nice mellow effect here! It may just be a trick of the background but the girl looks soft and the guy looks sharp and that seems wierd since they are both the same distance away...

The soft focus is perfect for this...good job. (Composition is great too) The only negative I can see is that I would like for the bench to have been supported on the other side because it creates tension and unbalance which is in direct oposition to the overall tone.
