As a longtime journalist (now retired) who sometimes took and/or edited photos, I can assure you that framing one's composition is an important aspect of good photojournalism. In this shot, two or three people are cut off and the principal subjects are looking away from the camera. There is no central focus to the composition. Sca (talk) 22:10, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
