What a nice couple portrait! You were wise to chose this simple backdrop in the shade. Shade brings out the catchlights in their eyes, especially Sue's, and keeps harsh shadows and hot spots off their skin and light shirts.

Good job removing shade's blue color cast. The resulting rich wood background sets them off well.

I would crop off the right side to better balance the light and dark. This also brings their faces off-center, which is more interesting.
