I think everything about this picture is perfect. I am big on getting colors right and the colors in this picture are beautiful. I love the skin tones. Hair on the guy on the right is a little dark, but that doesn't take very much away.

Great photo.

I like your perspective of the two people in front. I don't care for the position the back person ended up in. He appears as tho he's picking at something on the shaver's head. I know he isn't doing that but that was my first impression and it also drew my attention first. As a plus I also very much like the colors and contrast.

Great contrast and colour here, but yeah shame about the positioning of the guy in the background. The pose of the guys in the foreground really works though.

As an experiment, I skewed the photo to make the two people in front more predominant.

As for me, sorry, but I don't think it changes it enough.

I feel like a shallower DOF would have helped a lot. It is a great photo, good comp when it comes to your main subjects, good lighting, good color, but the background is a little distracting.
