its either u make a tighter crop or u give more space... the red strings is the killer here...

then the bride doll is OOF, the groom doll got strings attached... and pic is rather dark/underexpose.

overall 2/10

the bear on the right (the "bride") seems to be soft. in my opinion, for this shot, both bears should be sharp to bring out the point how they contrast with, yet complement each other. both the bears are ur subjects right? so both should be in focus, unless ur intention was to isolate 1 of them. then the other should be even softer than it is now.

i would also prefer a tighter crop. remove the top part where they hang from. remove the big, fat red string.

although ur current background is in very thick, creamy bokeh, i think ur pic can benefit from a more uncluttered background. the different BRIGHT colours in the background (on the right) draw my attention away from the bears.

last but not least, try to make the bears more "photogenic". the posture seems awkward right now.

hope the suggestions help.
