I really like this! I wonder if the composition would be stronger if you cropped a cm. off the top -- but anyway, I do like this. I like the colour and contrast too. The angle you've chosen is good.

i love the way you've captured their feet! I think maybe it would be better if you cropped out the bit at the top, though. great shot!

dobre, zadziwiająco niespokojne zdjęcie, podoba się bardzo; duża zielona buźka za pomysł!

hmmmmmmmmm i think i'll have to take another route to this
i think you should have included more of the person on top. even though you can't do anything about it, i think you should leave it as it is instead of cropping out the person altogether

i also wonder if you have a shot of them from a different angle, say for example from the south east direction. i think you'd be able get some more context that way.
because of your wideangle lend, their feet seem to look really huge, another angle and a litte more distance might rectify this
normally i love distortions and the dynamism it brings along with it
but in a mosque the atmosphere is extremely serene, i think without this distortion the feel of serenity would be stronger.

here is a mosque photograph for you. this is not for comparison , but just to share. enojoy
take care :)

This is a good shot and I really like the angle. What bothers me, though, are the people at the top of the frame (all you can see are just feet...cropping them out would place more attention on your two subjects). Apart from this an excellent shot. Well done.

Excellent¨POV. Like the colors and contrast.
You could rotate a few 10thst of a degree to the right.
