Thank You for your viewing!

you need to post EXIF data

but immediately, i would get rid of the vignetting... its too much. Same with the vibrance or saturation. The background is more vibrant than your subjects

Justin is right. the vignetting is WAY WAY too much and it is over saturated.
other than that, you cut off his fingertips and the photo should be straightened (look at the pole lines)

As far as the composition of the image, there is alot going on behind them. Lots of different tones and colors etc. Each of the contrasts, etc. have a tendency to pull your eye away from what it should be looking at, which is the subject(s). Best bet is to find areas that don't have much going on behind the subject even if it is a boring woods or field.

For the composition, her pose isn't the best for her. I would have turned her more of a 45. His pose is too relaxed. It doesn't look like they "like" each other.
