I love their expressions, and the setting is beautiful. Personally I think this shot would have worked better if you couldn't see the flash - if it was just a beautiful backlight on them instead. As it is, I have to work to look at something OTHER than the light because it's so bright and distracting and in the middle of the frame... I get the feeling this image is about that light, rather than about the people. Hope this helps.

Thanks Sennia for throwing a different take on this.
