This has a very elegant feel. I like the toning of the shotand the good latitude with detail kept in the dark areas. Lose that bit of chandlier though.

I think flipping the camera and having it wide would have worked better! But I agree with Chunk that it still has that elegant feel to it!

I feel the couple are discussing something very serious. The expression of the lady is not very pleasing, which suggests that they are on something they disagree. She may be in an under-hand position. There are no other persons in the shot, which may imply that they already have the discussion for a long time and they do not intend to leave.

I didn't really take the time to set this shot up. I didn't want to draw attention, or let the couple know. They were oddly matched as well, he is a construction worker, and she looked more "well to do". Consdidering the expression on her face, it really does make you wonder what was going on. I agree with the feel, but I also think it has a very dramatic look. After the conversion to B&W i added 3% sepia to give it an aged look and light glow.
