Not really much 'hugging' going on and it looks like the 'kiss' is already over. It also looks like somebody's thumb or at least an object in the foreground is obscuring part of the view. The conversion to black and white is a good choice I think as it helps with a good contrast in tones.

It seems a little soft on the detail, so I looked at the file size. There is some excessive JPEG compression taking away some detail, and visible artifacts on the faces. Your file size is only 42k and you could have used up to 150k for this challenge. Compression kills detail. Always use the least compression you can get away with and still come in under challenge limits.
