Social documentary is usually technically and compositionally weak photography and has limited meaning only to those with the same type of background. It is impossible to critique because it may be serious social work but it is not serious photography since that is not even the intention.

Your ownly rebuttal amounts to a dumb characterization. I notice you did not detail their supposed technical excellence. You did not indicate how compostion was excellent either. You did not indicate what meaning the photos had for anyone with no interest in social documentary either. . Your characterization is therefore meaningless.
