Well, they are looking at a waterfall below the bridge, or at Neuschwanstein Castle.

I liked the concentrated look of the two people in front, although I think some will argue this is not really street photography.

First Impressions
Hmm, seems a tourist type shot at a bridge or similar - but even so, could still classify as Street Photography, however there are not enough people in focus, or at least where the eye first rests, to create the interest.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Ok, just read your comments - if your favorite part of the image was the two people at the front, I don't understand why you didn't allow them 'center stage' more. The OOF (out of focus) areas dominate the image too much and cause a distraction from these two. Aside from that, with everyone looking down, and the man pointing down, the mind wants to either 'see down' or at least have some space leading down within the frame.

A more refined crop would also have helped. Perhaps even a very bold one, bringing the girl's distant look into play.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
98/135 seems a little harsh, perhaps - but your last commenter provides some very good insight into your image.

Summary
Possibly good potential with the image as is, but would likely take a bold crop and some tweaking in pp to enhance & portray the 'moment'.

I like the DOF, but that fella pointing, he immediately draws the eye to him, and the in focused girl becomes a distraction, if that makes sense.

Great clarity in the subject and good use of DOF.
