You saw a great scene; you framed it nicely - though I'd crop some of the space on the right; you should it at the right instant, in terms of the engagement and expressions; but you forgot to focus.

And - yes - I have said that sharpness, focus, and an emphasis on technical details can be and are way overrated. But there's a difference between having used a soft lens - which is the case with any number of iconic images from the 60s and earlier - shooting at a slow shutter speed and therefore having a big of subject blur camera shake; or having an image that is just so drop-dead gorgeous that one can overlook almost anything; and simply missing focus.
