This just doesn't look very springy - they're in coats and hats, indoors with potted plants. An outdoor shot might or some sun might have made your title fit better.

I like this picture. I prefer to see a photo that looks candid and not posed. This photo has that feel and to me says love, and does not require a caption to make me see the love. I wouldn't venture a guess as to the kind of love, as this could be a couple, siblings or friends, but they definitely love each other. The question as to the type of love causes me to look deeper at the subjects in an effort to determine the answer.

As for the composition and color, I like the overall look of the photo. There are interesting things in the background to give dimension to the photo, without being distracting to the subject in the foreground.

Spring? They are wearing winter coats. The coloring here seems really muted and it is grainy. Technically its not a strong photo but I really like the composition here. The placement of your couple in relation to things around them is nice.

A little bit grainy, and seems to have a green colour cast. Otherwise a nicely captured moment.

Great candid shot, lots of emotion (which is good in a "love" challenge!) Technically there are some things that might have helped the image - just my opinion of course. First, it seems kinda noisey - obviously in low light and needing a faster shutter you cranked up the iso, but neat image or something similar may have helped. Second the crop is not the best, the bright light in the upper L corner distract as do the plants and the wall on the R. Finally, the colors don't do too much and B&W may have helped. That said, I still think this is a great shot, and you got the most important thing right.

I like the idea, but it is not very focused, kind of fuzzy.
