Yes, the moustache is the entire point of the composition and the title.

For those who don't know, The Mario Brothers are extraordinarily well-known characters from kid's video games -- Mario Teaches Typing is a popular piece of educational software found in many elementary schools.

The Mario Brothers are readily identified by their luxuriant black moustaches ...

The kids are very cute and you've caught a nice moment, but the left side of the image is quite badly overexposed, unfortunately.

I like the composition and the colors in this. The chair back on the right side boy's face is very distracting though, it looks like he has an out of control moustache, or something.

Brilliant, I LOVE the mario 'moustache' I so hope this was not set up, a few bits of blow out in the picture but a wonderful surreal image
