There isn't really much going for this image. It looks like there was some camera shake, the figures are too dark, and the sun too bright. There isn't much you could do to get this shot correctly, though. Maybe use a tripod, but you'd still have the issue of the people being too dark. Fill flash might have worked but it looks like you were pretty far away from them so that's out.
With some photoshop work you may be able to get the exposure evened out, but the shakiness would still be there.
I'd try this again with a tripod (if you can). Unless, of course, it's a memorable shot for you and you don't care about any of the technical stuff. ;-)
