Technically, the background is straight and the different lighting shows depth. However, if the main subject was the couple everyone was photographing, they became lost in the photograph "story." To me, there were too many other parts of the photograph in focus rather than the distant couple if they were the subject of the shoot. If the main subject was the photograph title "Sunset Shoot", I found it difficult to relate to the photograph.
Maybe if the photographer was on the other side of the group taking the couple's picture in the sunset, with maybe just the main photographer and couple in the picture showing the sunset shadows, I think the photograph could have captured the intent of the title.

I am confused about the main subject of the image. If the subject is people taking pictures then the lady on the left should be cropped out as I am wondering if she belongs in the image or not.

I agree that the lady in red on the left is a distraction as are the two camera bags in the left foreground. If the lady was cropped out and the bags cloned out it would make for a cleaner and more informative image. Just my humble opinion.

Previous comments are well taken but I think JoeG was on the right track..........the faceless lady could have been saved if the photog change their position. Could there have been a shot further to the right? Could they have framed the shot higher? Eliminating the camera bags!
I've done two of these walks and have always hated the fact that the photogs try to take the same photo! Same subject. Same pose. Same perspective. Same boring outcome! If the guy next to me kneels to get the shot............I'm looking for a ladder!!

It may not have been practical at the time, but I would find this far more interesting if it was shot from the other side. It would be more interactive with the viewer if we were looking at the faces rather than the butts. The other compositional remarks also apply.

"Reportage" style of shot is good. Not much to say other than its technically a good Reportage snapshot.

As a reminder of what went on on this walk, this is fine with some cropping and or cloning. However, as a photograph it fails. I like looking at people's backs about as much as I like looking at the back end of fleeing wildlife or the south end of a cow going north.

No real focal point can kill you. Why is this particular shot being made? What is being said by the picture? Making that subject larger in your composition would help. As is the photo doesn't tell a very exciting story. It lacks an outstanding subject. Once that's decided, the position, perspective and so on can be determined.
