I tried one with all of the characters OUT OF focus. Didn't like it :-)

On your original remark. It would be and interesting shot but very difficult. The aperture used is already f/11 and the minions are way out of focus. Raising up the ISO to 800 (usable on D3200) would give f/32 which may or may not bring them in focus but will surely introduce diffraction. Using a shorter lens might help, but i opted for a telephoto to compress the perspective.

Focus stacking is another option but can't be used in minimal editing. Even if legal, it would be very difficult to execute with the smoke around.

This is another shot in this challenge I can see as a text-book image right below the chapter titled "Negative Space & Photography". Made a bit more interesting with dueling subjects. 8
