Hi!

Love the PP, over all really nice set :)

couldn't help but notice the shadows on their faces in 3, 4 and 5. Especially the portrait of her. Gorgeous photo of her btw, and of him. but that sun spot on her eye is distracting !

What lens were you using? Love the shallow DOF :)

I'm cool with the sun dappling on the couple in the kiss shot--but it seems really odd to allow light to fall randomly on faces for the individual portraits--especially hers. Generally people want their smooth foreheads to not seem wavy or bumpy as the light falling tends to do.

I'm not really feeling (5) either--that's a lot of space to devote to the composition without much in the way of payoff. Their pose seems random, the dude seems not into it in the way she is and the light falling on them isn't particularly good for this sort of thing in my estimation. I'm all for moody, but I don't think it quite works.

1 is a good shot if you photoshop out that stop sign it will be a great shot

Overall I think you did a good job. I have some minor comments for next time (and to help me remember to watch for these things).
1) Nice setting but he has a clear crotch shot, need to cross his legs or turn them at more of an angle. She could probably lean her head more towards him. They also have the plastic smile problem. I would either encourage genuine smiles like you see in #2 or leave it more serious with a slight grin orsomething. Agree about cloning out the stop sign.
2) Like their genuine expressions of happiness.
3) I would avoid dappled sunlight like the plague unless you have a solid theme for using it.
4) Okay but the dapples light is still a problem and you should PP their faces to minimize the dark circles around the eyes. A fill flash would help with that and add add sparkle to the eyes. His white balance looks green.
5) It looks odd like they don't fit with the background. Maybe crop in tight but definitely get rid of the pole if you keep it as is.
6) Nice creative shot. I just think there is too much distraction in the photo and it loses some effect because the couple don't quite stand out enough.
