I like this from a photojournalistic angle but some of the whites in the lower righthand third appear to be very hot. The rest of the image looks to have solid color saturation and good depth (nice separation in the hair color of the individuals to the left of the green jacket). Not sure much could have been done to limit the severity of the white areas.
A dramatic moment - I crop down from the left - come in closer to tha man who is giving instructions and loose the folks without fur coats. crop in a bit from the right to give the feeling that there are perhaps moe people lidtenning to him hiding the fact that the gray coated woman is the last one there.
Either you didn't want to be a photojournalist, or you weren't comfortable approaching them, but I'm sure you could have gotten some of them to pose for their cause. 5 -danny
