The people in this shot help to provide a sense of scale, but on another level provide a feeling of emotional distance. They are far away and in the corner of the shot, and thus not an intimate part of it. Yet they are part of the image all the same and provide an emotional element that would have been missing without them.
Their presence gives the photograph a human element and an emotional means of communication. Having an idea of what you are trying to say with your work will influence your compositional choices.
