Ethan, without knowing where you lived, when I looked at this I thought "This must be Seattle " I just saw a broadcast on CNN that you all have had 15" of rain and setting records!!!
This is a wonderful photo. I might have chosen a crop which would have gotten rid of the wall on the right hand side of the photo. The shadows throws an off kilter look to it and I don't think that much space lost over there would hurt. If so you could increase the canvas size a bit to compensate. It is one of my favorites. Nice to have such cooperative models .

This is perfect for this week's theme, and would have worked equally well for last week's "Silhouettes." Your parents' pose is priceless. I think that you have a finalist here.
I see a winner in this image. This is a very dramatic presentation of what love really is. I did one some ago and gave it my pastor and his wife for a 30 year anniversary gift - two bare trees on a prarie hill side-by-side growing old together. You did a magnificent job with this image and I am sure that your parents love it.
I just love this photograph. The mood and story come through so clearly. Like Jane said, you may want to explore cropping out the bit of wall on the right. That may make a strong photograph even stronger. Well done!
