I like it. 
I have one suggestion for "the next time" and it's a timing issue that I've noticed a lot in my own street shots.
A few seconds later and at least one, probably both of the vehicles would have been out of the shot, providing better background separation. I know you can't always coordinate the decisive moment of the subjects with the movement of things in the background, but this would have gone from A- to A+ work if the cars weren't there or were more out of focus. I love the fortuitous perfect framing of the vegetation over both their heads, but the cars make it less noticeable.

Couldn't agree more. Andy.
I don't mean to be critical overall, because I love so many elements of this shot that embody perfect "street". The "what's going on here?" expressions and body language, the hanging sunglasses, the larger compositional elements of the road and sidewalk.... It's a really beautiful example, and a case where you have to move so quickly and intuitively to capture both framing and moment. I don't know if you're a believer that post processing of any kind is unacceptable in street images, but adding a little Gaussian blur to the background elements would not IMHO detract from the authenticity of the shot, and might focus more on the subjects and overall lines of the image. It's a really, really good one!

I agree. My bad habit is I don't even notice things like until I download the photo. Think that comes under attention to detail.
