Category - photo journalism

I found a photo from last summer, and is not post processed.
I wanna know what's wrong and what's good.

Thank you, again.

It looks like a pretty good shot to me.

If I had any comments I would say that some of the whites are a little too white so you probably have a few blown highlights. Not knowing the game I have no idea what's going on. If you want to make this photo journalism then I think you need to focus on telling a story. This is just a bunch of guys milling about.

The first thing that's wrong is it's Cricket! You Americans can simply think of it as baseball on valium.

The photos is fine I think Lovin. Depends what you were going for. Being that this is game I would think a better photo would obviously be whatever passes for 'action' in Cricket. I guess the good thing is you'd rarely need a shutter speed faster than 1/60th

The white may need a fraction of correction too. They don't quite look white enough.

You're right, both of you.
The thing is, that when I took this photo I was paying attention to DoF, exposure, composition but never thought as a photo journalism. Just now came in my mind that could be in this category.

The photo looks dynamic, you can see intention, movement, but because of my experience, I missed some elements.
The photo is exactly like in the camera, not touched with post processing software.

I see IG thought the whites were too white and I thought they weren't white enough

Looking closer I can see that some of the whites look blue and some look green ... perhaps some reflection from the grass/sky or something.

I thinks is something that is lost on upload, or when was exported for email format.

I guess I was specifically talking about the highlights. The left side of most of these people seem overexposed (white too white). The rest of their clothing does have a slightly different tinge of green/blue but I put that down to reflections.
