Compositionally, I think the people on the left side of the frame and the emptiness of the right contrast nicely with eachother. The only mildly disconcerting part is that at first glance, it almost looks like a woman with four legs and arms. :/ This is interesting once you realize what you are looking at, but upon first glance it may have put some people off.

Technically, the lighting is a bit harsh, but it is understandable. It really makes the colors *pop* and emphasizes their brightness. Also, again, the colors are very nice, and really attract the viewer's attention to the shot.

Overall, I think it is an interesting shot.

If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

Best to you in future challenges,
Karma

I like the action happening here and the possible stories one could imagine on what they might be talking about: is she asking for directions, or is this an argument; are they breaking up?

dynamic composition and having him be "lost" in her seems to have metaphorical implications.

Great story. I like how their legs overlap. The light is a touch harsh but I love the colors.
