Default Couple Sitting on a Park Bench

I took a photo of my friends as they were sitting on a park bench. This is straight from the camera, with no editing whatsoever.

Shutter Speed: 1/500 second
Aperture: f/1.2
ISO: 100
Flash: Not fired

Interesting perspective from behind. I like how they are off to the side and you gave some "room" in front of them so they have somewhere to look. He seems a little more in focus then she is and his shirt and the bench almost seems to take over as the focal point. He definitely seems more important in the image than she does which makes the pic seem less about a couple.

I agree here - I know you have a 1.2 lens to play with... but the aperture seems a little low here to keep her ''in'' the picture. There is also a bright point by the guys neck and right ear that is distracting to me.
