What? Is Godfrey in a 3rd grade photography? :-) Sorry to appear rude.
What is good about this picture? I don't find anything appealing about it.
I don't see that it took any more effort than haphazardly raising the camera
to one's eye and pressing the shutter release, maybe not even looking
through the viewfinder.
Not only is the main subject not in clear focus, the secondary subject is
not either, and both are cut off. I'm not a believer that some sort of
unspoken social commentary, makes a photograph a good photograph.
If this is the kind of image that constitutes an incredible photograph, then
by God, every person that ever picked up a camera and pressed the shutter
release a half dozen times is a good photographer, and we should all stop
trying.
