I really like the sentiment behind this one, and it is good to read the back story, too. The people are clearly all in the second half of their lives, and clearly having a whale of a time! From a photographic perspective it would have been good if one of the men had been turned a little more towards the camera, but you still got your message across well.
A little snap-shotish. there lacks a clear subjecct, with many elements involved and none standing out ahead of the others. Too much happening in the background, and too many elements overlapping each other to make this work. no one is looking at the camera, and the entire image does not really look like a poster someone would post on their wall for motivation.
Totally agree with you,
Now regarding this picture, I am not sure it is presented in its best,
First, I am not sure I like the composition, what is the subject I am concentrating at? The couple on the right? the couple of the left? the singer maybe?
The picture has to convey a message without reading the text. More as a Point and Shoot capture to me with lots of potentials.
This is of course my humble opinion, I hope my comment is taken in a positive way, all the best, 5
this photo lacks of a border (I'd prefer there to be one, consider it as you were writting a motivational letter and following certain rules) I like the message
