Okay you want honest..I'll be brutally honest!
I think the title and the picture are so right! It tells such a story and the look is so right.
I love the photo. I think the sheet would not make a difference if it were not partially over the top of the heads. I think the mans head could be totally in the photo or not it still tells the same story. I think just the thought of what the common stare is and fact both look so content just staring at each other make it a wonderful shot!
Great catch!

I think that it's an adorable shot. I pretty much second what xxpinballxx said.... but... minor but... I would probably sharpen it just a bit so that their features are a little sharper. Other than that, I think that it's a really well put together shot.
