Very cool shot.
If I may add a comment, try cropping the top off
After briefly looking at the subject, I ended up studying the top of the wall to try figure out what it was.
Had I not seen the top of the wall I would have just assumed it was a wall or a building and looked more closely at the subjects.

Really like the lighting. Nice long shadows:):
What was the light on the left?

In anycase, really cool shot!

The lighting on the left was just a flash set on the ground, didnt have my tripod that day, thanks for your comments Crispin. And I will try to crop the top, bye.

This is interesting. How exactly did you shoot this?

Basically I set my vivitar 285 hv flash to the right of the subjects, I set it on the ground because I wanted the dramatic shadows. I decided to move way further back because I wanted to capture the whole background and some of the foreground, the sujects were actually a little higher then me (kind of a slope thing they were sitting on, but you cant see it ) so I was lower on the ground then them, then I just took the photo.
