The image highlights how toxics must be dealth with by people, and that often people must go on living with them and dealing with their agency and consequences without training or risk (the comment suggests that the workers in the image were not well equipped).
Moreover, the presence of land and sea in the image highlights the mobility of toxic materials that pass between earth systems, which perhaps could be commented on in the caption.
Nothing to add to the image here.
This is a found image and the source is listed. The orange colours of the high vis jackets are juxtaposed to the surrounding landscape, and those wearing them act as living markers of the danger of toxicity in the area despite being exposed to it themselves. Perhaps this could be commented on?
The caption should be more analytic if possible. It could highlight how coastal areas are different to other toxic places (drawing attention to this specific site), and highlight the assemblage of actors that are brought into focus (and affected) by the specific event. What do coastal areas tell us about toxicity that other areas don't? Who is affected most in coastal areas? And how does this tie into the coastal economy (and austerity as the caption mentions)? A few more details like this would help the caption to add more depth to what is a good image.
The image draws attention to the everyday lives of those who must clean up coastal toxicity/pollution. The caption is short and informative and doesn't get into the details of what is going on and why. There is another caption (not critical commentary) associated with the image that goes into more detail, but could be more concrete in terms of describing what is going on in the image, who the workers are, how the land and sea are affected and why. It feels more descriptive than analytic but nonetheless is very interesting.
