As I told you, I would get rid of the trees in the top corner, but that may just be me...I like it though.

I like it a lot, but I'd opt for a b/w version. To me the colors are so subtle they don't add to the image. Great work. It's harder than people think to do that well.

Thanks!! I think I may change it to bw and see how it comes out. Paul, I'm going to take the tree out and see how it comes out

Average shot.
A good silhouette still requires a good pose, this pose is mediocre.
As already mentioned the background is not clear. Need to see more of the couple. The bottom adds nothing to the shot.
Good try.

Got Amy posing suggestions? Her arm bugs me I just didn't want to point it out. Lol. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve! Thanks for the feedback.

I would have brought her left arm down and pointed to a clear part of the sky.

I have a few shots after this where I pulled her arm down but I had cut the flowers off.

Nice clean poses work well for silhouette type shots, something like this:
