Just before an outdoor performance of As You Like It. They are aware they are being photographed, but attempting to not notice.

Doug,
The picture is for sure "perky" with those saucy eye of the girl on the left and the generous bosoms of the other actor. For, sure, as you know, I'd love more space around the figures especially above and to the side of the girl on the left so as to put her head in the position of power. Still it works as is since the subjects are great together and it conveys a bunch of pretty basic and attractive human feelings.
Well, there's more. Just try this in B&W. You'll be amazed how this goes up several levels as everything is now about form and shade and so the color does not interfere or redirect attention form the girls themselves. Unnatural color is designed to be seductive and distract you towards that garment. Always ask if it serves you best in each instance. I'd love your opinion on how this works for you in this case.
Thanks for sharing!

Et voila! It is indeed a better picture in B&W. Along with the tighter crop, it is definitely much better.
As per Asher's suggestion.
Cheers,

Indeed, and blanche et noir, since the phrase either modifies "image" or "photograph" or "technique", all of which are feminine nouns.
(Actually, it should probably be "blanche et noire", but for some reason "blanche et noir" is widely used.)
