Love to get feedback on these two in tears of both composition and processing.

The processing looks good. Since these have a rustic type feel I like that the saturation isn't overdone. Just a few things I noticed though: #1 has potential but I wish she was not looking at the camera. Normally I love for one person to be looking, but in this case I think she should be looking into his eyes smiling, laughing, etc. Like you snuck up on an intimate moment and took a shot. The way she is looking at the camera looks kind of annoyed, like you snuck up on an intimate moment, got caught, then took the shot. In #2 I can't tell if he's supposed to be kissing her cheek, or sleeping next to her. Honestly he looks asleep to me. Lastly, my eyes went right to the harsh light on her wrist in #2, so I'd fix that in post. Overall, this looks like a great location and there is much potential to get some wonderful shots here for sure! :-)

I would crop a good chunk of the right side of the one of them lying in the grass. Her legs don't add to the picture. She has pretty eyes. I think you would lose this if she were looking down as Paul has suggested. If this was an engagement shoot, they you would also want one like Paul says.

The one on the blanket is a nice diagonal composition. I wonder if it would be improved with a tighter crop.
