Maybe closer up with a wide angle lens we could see more of their expressions and the fire better. Also could have used an angle shot from on the side of the men and gotten a better composition, or more enticing one. But still not that bad of a photo, especially technically. As is there's no "wow' or real attention grabber. Sorry, just my opinion. PTL5
Would have worked better for me if you'd got closer in, so we could see the expressions on their faces properly. There's too much dead space to have that "front page" impact.
Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background8, Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing6, Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc.? 7, Total Averaged Rating7. Autool IMO the relationship between the title and picture are key elements in this challenge. Good subject, too bad you couldn't have been a little closer and got a better exposure. It looks like the overcast day should have produced better colors and clarity.
Nice picture. I like the framing on this shot. The focus is a little soft but I don't think it hurts the shot much, if any. It's a very nice candid shot of these brave fellows who deserve a little face time. - Inspzil
A bit grainy, and possibly over sharpened. (The smoke looks like a sharpening routine has been run. Legal but blotchy results.) Are these guys on strike? Seeking donations? You are on the right track to a really good pic. Just needs a little more. 6.
