How is this a portrait? Your subjects are lost in a large frame of buildings, railing, and useless foreground. On top of that, there's no connection at all with the viewers because their backs are to the camera.
Not every portrait needs to have direct eye contact with the camera. There's a famous portrait of Mike Tyson when he was younger, where the photographer only shot the back of his head and his massive neck. As the old saying goes, though, you have to learn the rules first before you can break them.
