It's a nice candid shot but the background is a bit distracting, especially the person on the left of the frame. I think a tighter crop with her arms by her side might have worked better.
The person in the background is one of the only things I don't like about this but it really has a candid feel so it is what it is. The only thing that I think could possibly up this image a bit more is if you moved more to the left, it would crop the person in the back out and it would also show more of the shadow side of your subjects face while keeping the Rembrandt lighting which is very flattering IMO.
I think it's a really nice shot though and I personally like the background, it helps tell the story of the image.

Thanks Michael, I was up against a wall on my left side so I was as far over as I could get here unfortunately. Appreciate the feedback.
Quick work as my opinion. First priority is always through camera.
