In my personal opinion, this composition and theme required the background to be sharply in focus. The light is too dull which makes the colors very sad. A much more intense light source would be needed, with the adequate background ilumination to remove unwanted shadows from the figures
I don't really understand the capture of 'your corner of the world' in this photo, and on the subjectivity scale, there is nothing that really grabs me and says HELLO. Is collecting these figures 'your' corner of the world? Maybe being a sports fan is your corner? - setzler
