I like it very much as it is, but I have one suggestion. As I held my hand over the out-of-focus man I got a much more intense picture of the man on the left. I left as much space as I could in front of the man on the left but cut the other one out completely. It becomes a very beautiful portrait with much more impact. At least to me. Very much like a Karsh. I don't know how much space there is to the left of the man in front, but if you have some and it fades to darkness as I think it does, you might crop it as suggested and then move the frame to the left a bit -- see what happens. What Contax camera and lens were you using?
