I am not going to touch the exposure, because I honestly don't know how much better I would have done in the situation.
I want to critique the composition.
I understand that you were going for an image that showed both the models and the scenic area. I call these "tourist" shots, but not in a negative way. I do them all the time at weddings when I want to show the couple with the venue behind them.
The problems I see are because of where you positioned yourself and how you cropped. I know you were using the model's height as part of the composition and that was a great idea. Although I might have shot straight on had the shorter model closer to you. Only because it all looks slightly distorted. The heights could have still played a role. The other problem is the cutting off of the taller model's feet. Especially since their legs are part of the action of the shot I would have been careful to get full lengths of all of them.
I have seen you work with these particular models often and I can tell they are comfortable with you because of their easy expressions and connection to the camera, that's a talent.
The idea is good but I think there can some slight improvements next time.
