Critique Welcomed Two Ladies in Sandy's Rikshaw

I was shooting a roll of expired Kodak E100G 120 slide film in my Holga 120N and suddenly the camera, which a blink of an eye earlier had been strung over my shoulder, clattered onto the pavement and the back popped off, exposing the roll to the sunshine. I lost 4 images completely, and I was able to salvage the remaining eight. Played around with the sliders in Lightroom to get this image as you see it now.

I cross-processed the film in C41 chemicals.

Edit: The reason the camera fell was because the retaining clip on one side of the camera (which holds the back in place and to which the strap is attached) slipped past its detent, the flimsy metal tang having somehow lost its purchase. (Beware of that @Tom Dunne!)
 
The future's so bright, I got to wear shades. I'm glad you saved this one, Brian. I like how one lady is leaning back - not sure why that adds to the image, but it seems to. Is that Alexander at the pedals?
