I LOVE the composition of this photo, the post-processing (especially your selective sharpening), exposure is spot on, and you chose a lovely place with even, soft, sexy lighting. I very much enjoy the pose, and I also very much enjoy the way they are holding each other.
What you could've done is add a hint of candidness to your photo. It looks so posed/stiff! Why not talk to them, make them laugh, say something about each other, and at the minute they look into each other's eyes and make a loving face, that's when you press the shutter.
8/10

Not trying to be perverted or anything. But, where is his hand going?

I guess you dont' have much experience with caressing a woman. He is not grabbing her breast.

..Again, it was a joke. And I probably have more then you might think.

hmmm let's see.. this photo I'm not as fond of as your other work I've seen... can't figure out why I'm not into it though.. I was thinking maybe the bw conversion. perhaps too strong on the blacks? yes I think that's it. 7.5/10

2 people having fun and a wonderful moment =/= instantly awesome photo, as most people think. It's also alot harder than just aiming the camera at two happy people.
This is an example of how an inexperienced photographer (who rates a poorly exposed city photo as 10/10) can fuck up a beautiful moment.

Nice snapshot.
Since you tend to be annoying about this, here's why:

Composition in this is horrible.
Framing is horrible.
Exposure is blown out and recovered.
Legs are cut off (no matter what theory says, 3/4th's body proportion looks horrible, and this even fails @ 3/4th's).
too much headroom.
Something is sticking out of her butt.
Centered subject.
The angle you shot from this is horrible.

I can keep going.

If you won't criticize, I'll stop doing it as well. this is the last time:

Why is this crooked  again? what does being tilted add to the photo
Also, you could've waitd for a more flattering time to shoot this. Think: sexy face, instead of 'OMG I'm making a fugly face'

7/10. Lighting is too meh, crooked, and decent capture make this rating.

This is what I'm talking about when I saw wait for the sexy face:

no no, I will criticize. I just honestly can't find anythiing wrong with that photo, Omar. I really loved it. the lighting was fantastic, the moment was amazing, the mood was beautiful what else can I say? you know I've been giving you criticism since I started posting. hmm I didn't see it crooked.. lighting is what was in the room unfortunately and I loved that she burst out laughing

as for this photo I have a few issues with it even though ultimately I really like the shot. that light on her face is making her look way too yellow. is it a disco type light? I think if you had a little more room in the photo you could've gotten more nice light on the crowd, they look like they're having fun

9/10 gimme a sec to find another one I liked
