Great set, I'm not so keen on 4, 5 & 6, as i feel the blur is too close and draws my attention away. All in all some great shots :)

Great shots!

For the 3rd shot, do you have an uncropped version that shows more of his face?

I have un-tilted shots against that wall, but wanted to use those in a series. I agree the blur might be a bit much on the legs, but its different.

I do, but not when she nailed the look like that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Here are my thoughts:

1) Looks like you missed the focus on this one. It looks like the focus plane is on the leaves in front of the guy. Good composition and exposure. I think it's a little heavy on the contrast, but that's a personal preference.
2) This is a good shot. I'd crop the left side closer to the guy's neck and play them in the upper left quadrant. Contrast is a little heavy on this one also. Her ring should be pointing towards the camera. Just something I noticed.
3) She's a little too centered with nothing interesting on the right side. I'd like to see the guy's face a little more on this one also.
4-6) I like this series. Sweet and simple. I'm not sure how I feel about the vertical and horizontal lines leading to the guy's head. I think it would have been better to place them a little to the left with the vertical line coming down in between them.
7) I like this shot, but the guy in the hat ruins it. He also seem to have a halo (due to dodging?). I'd also fix the vertical and horizontal lines of the door. The right side and bottom side is aligned, but the left side is crooked.
8) This shot is unique and I like it. They seem to have some halo (also due to dodging?) that can be cleaned up a bit. It would have been nice to have her feet shown. I don't know how dark is was or if you have any ND filters, but if maybe a long exposure with the red tail lights would have made this really interesting.

Pretty good set overall! :D

Hope this helps!

The last shot is crazy too, his not touching her , or holding her hands, he is just like leaning on her, I dont know.

I do like #1

I haven't. I've only been there twice shooting, and both times it wasn't busy at all. I wouldn't think they could kick you out unless a private event was taking place.
