not too sure what you meant? aren't most shops snapshots?
While fokker's reply could have been a bit more helpful, I do agree that the image doesn't seem to have a lot going for it. Technically it's got exposure issues; deep shadows on both sides, as well as motion blur. The mono conversion is rather muddy, and mid-tone rich, lacking any significant true black or white; that aside, I think perhaps it does actually help the image by reducing the visual distraction that a wide colour gamut would have presented. Artisitcally, it would depend on what you wanted to convey, but I don't get much from it.
What did you want from the image?
Well these were my friends that were working on a project with a tight deadline. I wanted to show that they are working. What does mono mean? I am not too familiar with a lot of the terms you are talking about here.
Thanks

I assume this is a typo and you meant "shots"? Otherwise I'm confused. On that understanding, one generally doesn't ask for critique on snapshots. They are by definition, an image captured on the spur of the moment, without regard for artistic appeal or technical correctness.
Photographs on the other hand are images where the photographer has considered the composition, lighting and various technical and artistic elements in order to produce the most pleasing image [that he/she is able to] possible.
also i'd say... a snapshot really only has meaning to the person who took it or the ppl in it... like... when you look at this shot you'll remember that night... etc...
but for an outsider... doesn't hold much meaning... know what i mean?
Sorry if my reply was a bit blunt before. Yes not everyone is looking to take artistic or technically perfect photos and there is nothing wrong with taking snapshots, we all do it. It's just that you don't usually ask for C&C on a snapshot, because as described by tirediron, a snapshot does not give careful regard to elements which people tend to critique or look for in a true photograph.
To me that is a hard one, it isn't strictly a snaphot as it is nicely framed and posed - it's more of a portrait really, at least that's what I would say.
