It's a great, classic composition--the symmetry moderated by the tilt, the clearly defined space between them yet the obviously implication that it's about to be closed by a kiss. I think part of the reason it made me smile was the fact that it felt like it de-fanged the original, if that makes sense--the stereotypes of the original image (sexualized young women, women as objects to be looked at by a viewer via glossy images) were being subverted (boys rather than girls, more ambiguity about the sexuality indicated by the blushes, the obvious hand of the fanartist as opposed to the slick finish of the poster).
