A bold entry! You could even zoom in and get more macro on this and it would retain interest. With a shot of this type, if you wanted to soften the lighting without losing contrast elsewhere (with basic editing), you can try using an warm photo filter and uncheck 'preserve luminosity'. It's funny that being this literal with a literal crowd still results in an oobie! Good for you :)
I must be honest with you, I really don't like this image. The subject does not interest me and the grain/ noise seems to detract more than add to this image.
