i'd like it much more it it was framed better and not so dead center.

Beautiful image. I just wonder how powerful this might have been in b&w.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Oh my word, the light! What an amazing collaboration of light and shade and colour and haze and sharpness and people and story. It feels sad, I wonder if it is? The mind conjures the dark background haze to acrid smoke and our Western, Hollywood-induced indoctrination turns this into a war zone. I can't see how it could be - perhaps a natural disaster? I almost feel guilty for overlaying a back-story - I'll refer you back to the strong narrative you've created with this image.

Critical stuff: I wonder about the left side of the image - do we need it? It doesn't really matter...

Overall: Amazing, powerful image.
