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.
I'm with everyone else here! Try a crop! Nice capture on the fly!

Coooooool shot! It's defnitely an easy crop, so don't worry too much about the right side. Where was this taken?
Nikon D90 - Stephen
Nikkor 55-200mm VR
Nikkor 28mm 2.8 AF-D
SB-600 Speedlite
It was taken at my university campus, near Lisbon, Portugal.
Outstanding! Wouldn't change a thing.
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.
