Hmm...the way you pixel makes me think of a diagram: purely a presentation of what exists, and no emotion whatsoever. It looks great as a diagram, because you can see everything at once, and you know what's there. But I don't see much drama. I would imagine a general planning a battle to be a very moody, dark and foreboding situation! I would imagine the general stooped over the table, or seated at a desk, with papers strewn about the table and a team of officers at his side. Whatever, that doesn't matter. What matters is that everything is face-on, the general is standing like a mannequin, with his face in a light smile. I can't even see any war plans on the table, so the picture isn't very helpful in describing what the scene is about. In reality, in my eyes, little thought went into the placement and position of characters and props, and what meaning that placement gave to the picture. Sorry if it seems harsh, but I see so much potential!
