Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Lighting is good and costuming is good. However the action of Bonnie and Clyde robbing the safe is very staged. Just guessing that this might have been a paid client photo shoot thus the reason the two subject are looking at the camera rather than concentrating on the 'heist'. Perhaps an opportunity to take some additional shots where Bonnie would be concentrating on cracking the safe while instead of having his hand on the safe, Clyde is on hyper-guard with a hand going for something in his breastpocket of his jacket (going for the gun...also assuming this is a hotel or public area that guns even prop ones would be not allowed). I do have one other suggestion on how to improve the visual impact of the shot as it stands now and that rests with the crop to showcase the action. There is too much negative space around the main subjects that is adding nothing to the scene except robbing it of full visual impact. Bring your audience closer to the action and the subjects of the shot so that we can see more details and thus get drawn in more to the composition. I suggest cropping out the plant & dark space to the left of Clyde and cropping out the door & brick wall to the right of Bonnie. You would then have a tightly framed vertical composition that would then allow your audience to become an active participant in the story presented and as the saying goes 'get a piece of the action' .

Great set-up and light. A modern Bonnie. Beautiful final touches of the image
