Really nice but personally I'd try working on the sky itself. It needs black holes like the real sky has, and sometimes lighter spots. But overall you did real good!

I do like the background, hun.
The air-brushed quality of it makes the crispness of the couple stand out, almost like the focus on a camera, which definitely adds interest.
However, because the moon is behind the two, it changes the original light source you used when coloring the characters, as well as the fact that they are now in a night scene would change the previous colors because of the lack of light. For example, their faces and bodies would be more in shadow because of the back lighting, and the entire color scheme would most likely have an indigo cast.
On the other hand, you could simply add a suggestion of another light source that would over power the moon. For example, you could add a balcony railing to suggest that they are close to a lit window.
But when considering a background, think of where the light is coming from because it is always key to the coherency of the piece.
Also, the moon is lovely, hun, but at the same time a bit cliche. I suggest moving it somewhere other than the center. Because you want to keep their kiss the focal point of the piece, and the only way to do that is to keep the lightest lights and darkest darks in that area (at the moment that contrast is predominantly centered around her left leg), which is another good reason to move the moon away from their faces because of the light source you have now.
I do highly suggest putting in a ground line to add emphasis to the impact of the scene, because without feet or any type of ground, they're just floating in space, which stagnates the effect.
Fortunately, these things are all easy to fix with more additive layers on photoshop.

Fore an example of my meaning of light sources, check out this piece Good vs. Evil by janaschi.

If you have any questions, or didn't understand something, feel free to PM me. I can always do red-lines and other such example-edits. I hope this has been helpful to you in some way.

No problem! I'm just glad to have helped you instead of confusing you (which is kind of what I do to myself every time I reread what I wrote).
