their silhouettes are not really distinguishable from the dark background. It is a nice shot though!

nice capture of the moment. I'm sure this represents unforgettable memories. a little more attention to details could enhance this picture: e.g. the tree over his shoulder, the line going through her head. Tough to judge from here and not being there: could you have taken the pic where both are set against the dark background AND illuminated from behind by the sun? Just an idea, not knowing whether it was doable or not.

A sweet moment captured! After the challenge, you may want to work this a bit more using advanced techniques to smooth the grain a bit, particularly on her dress. I do like that there's some detail there. You could also clone out the bit of tree behind him. I suspect this is a photograph the couple would like to have!

positioning the camera 1 or 2 inches to the left would have avoid the exagerated glare nearby the guy's forehead and eyes, still keeping a nice contrast.
