i like the guy alot...i'm not so crazy about the girl. i feel he has more in common with those knob things on the fence...but perhaps that's what being strangers is all about...very good.
The placement of the people is fine, but overall the image doesn't convey an overall theme/thought to relate the two people to both being in the shot. This may have actually been stronger with just the one person on the left and cropping out the whole right side.
