•  Oppose composition, crop, cloud covering most of the picture --Leafnode✉ 11:20, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I am not agreed about the smoke: it covers less than half of the photograph, and it is a part of the point.

I would be interested to hear more about the composition. If I had to formulate criticism myself, I would have said that the background is messy and distracting, but I might not use the term "composition" for this. Rama (talk) 12:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

By 'composition' I meant mostly background. About smoke - it would be fine if it didn't cover the shooter, as he is the main object of this photograph. --Leafnode✉ 12:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
