Would these scenes be too cliche romantic

Like I'm not going to go into detail of my scenes descriptions. But I'm tired of the overused fire works, kissing in the rain, smoothie with two straws, that kind of stuff. I'm trying to think of new ideas such as(random creative kind of scens):A guy hanging upside down a tree and a girl leans into give him a peck on the lips, Two couple hanging on to a handful of strings of balloons(flying above air as they give a kiss to eachother), kissing in the fog as it hazes around them, tiny couple who sitting on a flower as the garden that surrounds them blooms with flowers, A good luck peck on the cheek during a war type of scene, in a dreary forest kind of path kissing as trees and branches bend foward to enclose them, ect. Are these too cliche? These are a start for me since I am a little new to it.

or kissing on a dock in a pond while fishing for fish or a kiss of resurection where a person kisses the dead and suddenly be able to awaken.

these are for scenes for a story actually. But I thought they sound a bit cheesy to me. I just want to get everybody else's views

A guy hanging upside down a tree and a girl leans into give him a peck on the lips: Blood rushing to the head, branch cutting into legs, doesn't sound the most comfortable

Two couple hanging on to a handful of strings of balloons(flying above air as they give a kiss to each other): Kind of awkward but it could work if she lets go of the balloons as they kiss. It would be interesting from a cinematic stand point but maybe not so much written of course if you are a good writer you could make it work.

kissing in the fog as it hazes around them: This could be good if you really get the description of the feeling of the cool fog on the skin etc

tiny couple who sitting on a flower as the garden that surrounds them blooms with flower: This one is pretty specific isn't it? :p I'd say this is the most cliched and in my opinion has been way over done with the flowers blooming around fairies

A good luck peck on the cheek during a war type of scene: A classic of course but it could do well if you put some sort of spin on it

in a dreary forest kind of path kissing as trees and branches bend forward to enclose them:the same remarks as the fairy one

kissing on a dock in a pond while fishing for fish: or fishing for something else...but seriously, this one, like a lot of the things you came up with are very specific. If really depends on the characters and how it fits with their personalities/situation/status.

a kiss of resurection where a person kisses the dead and suddenly be able to awaken: This idea kinda always freaked me out. Why would you kiss a dead person?

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that while none of them are bad ideas, and are certainly better than the cliched ones, they seem very specific. I would focus more on the physical sensations and emotion rather then the situation that they find themselves in.

Develop your characters as well as your scenes. The reason behind their desire to kiss can be as interesting as the description of the kiss. What brought them together? What does the kissing mean to them?
