Hmm I agree with limwhow... it does look like a snapshot, but i can be much better still.. For example, if you see those reportage photos in the ST, they have a central focus, and some kind of story to tell... Even those that are taken just by reporters showing everyone at an event, there has to be someone or some action which stands out, if not its not worth a second glance. In your case, I notice the right side of the picture is much darker, probably due to some shade? That part ought to be cut off because its distracting and its so dark you can't see what's happening clearly anyway.
Perhaps if you recrop or took the photo with only the left 2/3 of the photo... i.e. that the man in the center becomes the right edge of the frame. This looks good because he is leaning to the left, leaving empty space to the left for him to move will give the snapshot a sense of motion. This would also give more focus to the interesting capture of one man being taught how to use the rod properly on the left of the frame.
Overall, I think your one word answers to the above questions show that you didn't really think of what this picture ought to convey? Correct me if i'm wrong. I've found that even if you don't have a deep 'moral to the story' kind of thing, you must have a purpose in the picture, be it an interesting movement, a beautiful colour tone or a special expression on someone's face. Then you have to compose the picture such that the thing you wish to capture is given due space and attention. Watch a few classic movies and take note of how the director uses the camera to emphasize emotions/objects (eg. if you want a thoughtful look, the actor looks off to the side, and the camera leaves blank space to that side for the actor to 'think into').
Yup, just my two cents. hope it helps
