Years ago, when pictorialism was gong out of fashion, being replaced with newspaper photography (a.k.a. documentary photography), this type of composition would have been called contrived. One would hope that in today's climate of distorted plastic lenses, uneven horizontals without purpose, out-of-focus images, gratuitous fat asses as subjects, and the other "arty" things that make the current stockpot of modern photography, there are none foolish enough to criticize a very well done pictorialist image. Actually, what makes it fun is that those self-same foolish people are at the rudder of photography at this very moment. My only hope is that you will title it. If only to see the old farts' blood-o-pumping.
