There's something I like about this but I'm not sure what.

The eyes, thats what i like about this shot,

The way my eyes follow this:

Bottom of beer glass, up to the highlighted hand and engagement ring, then up to the eyes, across the bannister and out of the photo,

I do think you could do with lightening the eyes slightly though, just a little bit,

Great candid!

ike,

I love the warmth of this photo. Looks like a warm afternoon, relaxing at the pub. I love it. My eye was also drawn to the ring, is this what you intended? Or was it the face?

the fact there is alchohol in it?
No but seriously, I'm not sure what you like in it, I don't really see much more than the beerglass, it's too much in the way of the composition and it doesn't make out to be a very interesting character. I do like the lighting on the fingers though, but just a slight contrast change might have changed much.

I like the mood of the picture and the contrast between the background and the figure in the forground. I would crop the right had side out from where her arm meets the green post over. I think this would make for a stronger image as the bright background is taking away some of the attention form the forground figure and the glass.
