First Impressions
The girl in the window adds interest and makes a good candid. The lady at the table appears somewhat uncomfortable and the jacket, etc makes this photograph seem more of a tourist type snap becase of that (girl in the window aside).

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
The eyes are unsure which subject to focus on, as mentioned above, the girl on the phone provides more interest - perhaps this image may have allowed more of the 'cross-mix' of stories/situations to be told better if there was a little more context.

A more refined crop at the top would be good too, but fairly minor.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
91/135 would seem that people were not stopping to study the image long enough during voting.

One commenter provides some insight into why the majority likely scored you around the 5 mark.

Summary
This may be a 'personal image' that may hold special meaning for you if you know the lady at the table in the sun (which may also be why you titled this as you have). Otherwise, for me as the viewer, I see two women in a sunny spot at a cafe, however only one seems truly candid and therefore doesn't dominate the image enough to carry it to another level for this particular Challenge.
