Hi Hugh,
That must have been quite a reunion!
Interesting portrait, too, due to the similar direction they look to.
I think you could get it a bit further.
First thing that I would try if I had a go at it, would be:
I'd crop off a bit of the right, desaturate slightly, make the  
background just a bit lighter, use smart sharpen (at 50/2) and burn  
the shadow parts on their skin a bit.
Just to emphasize the powerful (a bit stoical expression) of their  
faces.
Thanks for showing,
Philippe
