This is the sort of subject matter that can yield really good stuff. I imagine there was something preventing you from getting up close, but this shot would have really taken off if the expressions on the faces of the guys getting home were up close and personal. Bigger telephoto, waiting for them to come closer. Good luck.

Nice photojournalism! Which probably doesn't get you all so awesome scores on this site, but I really like it!
