I'm not entirely pleased with the composition (mostly because of the person barely noticeable on the right) but this was one of those photos where I didn't have much control. I had to shoot like this or miss the moment altogether.

I like this image. A lot. I agree about the person on the right however. I think I would be inclinded to crop him/her out, not so much because of it's a person, BUT because the extreme RH side of the image is somewhat darker. If you crop as close as you can to their left hand and eliminate a proportionate amount of area from the rest of the perimeter, I think you'll have a great image.

VERY well done. Great colour. I think it works the way it is but you might be right. It might be better with just the 1 person...It's the world's easiest crop though if you want to try.

Nice photo! The color and lines are great. I like it either way although the crop as TiresIron suggested seems to make the image be a bit stronger. Either way I like it though. :)

Coooooool shot! It's defnitely an easy crop, so don't worry too much about the right side. Where was this taken?

It was taken at my university campus, near Lisbon, Portugal.

That's a University? Looks like prison ;-). Anyhow - great picture. But Marco is right, try it with just one person!

Great Eye. I agree that 1 person would improve this shot. Conversely, I think if there had been no one in the shot it would have lacked something.
