this would be my take on it...I think the high lighted water in the lower left compositionally balances nicely with you and the boy friend (lucky guy)

Personally...
I wouldn't touch it.
It looks fine the way it is.

Thumbs up rules made to be broken

personally, even though crop sugestions are good, would leave it as it is, since you are between an interesting contratst of shadow and light making the eye focus on you 2 whitout loosing the beautiful scenerie,

regards

I prefer it as is. The composition is perfect and sets your eyes to look from Top right to bottom left diagonally
