Postproduction is also important part of photography in my opinion. I know people that has DSLR but shoot only jpg because "if picture is good it doesn't need postproduction" blah blah. Show me any "pro" photographer that makes only jpg's... Soo back to your picture: postprocess is stunning. I wonder, how it looked before :)
And the last thing: shame on you! Maybe these people just engaged?? ;)
It was dark!! How could I have known!! :D
