Looking at their faces I can see that they are indeed looking forward for the photo to be taken to get on with what they really want to do so in my opion this meets the challenge.
However, I would like to offer some suggestions to how I believe the photo could have been improved - at least if I was the one taking it. A less distracting background would be nice but you can't always choose the background when getting the shot. I would try and avoid having the subject centered and would have cropped out the right hand side to remove the distracting red object at the bottom corner. The colours and skin tones appears over saturated for my tastes. Good luck with your entry.
