An easy to interpret story telling image where it appears the lighting conditions were less than ideal as it is quite contrasty. Some more detail in the shadow areas especially on the man's clothing would be desirable. There are pixelation marks in the smoke most noticeably above the man's head which is a big spoiler so not sure if it has been enlarged too much or over processed. Posted: 04/17/2025 12:06:42
Yes, a good story, but the loss of detail on the figure is a shame. I'm sure a bit of dodging or shadow lifting in RAW would give some details up. An enjoyable photo. Posted: 04/17/2025 22:07:57

It's OK, but I would have preferred the man be on the right as we tend to scan from left to right and are kinda left hanging. With photojournalistic captures, not always possible unless the subject is posed. Posted: 04/19/2025 05:41:32
