Because blue jeans (which I myself wouldn't wear anywhere) don't belong in an oil painting-like scene, nor do blue jackets.

But it's not an oil-painting scene. It's a picture of Hythe Bridge Moorings before it got trashed.
Many of the people who live there wear blue jeans, as do the passers-by.

That's the difference between a pictorial photographer (which I am) and a documentary one, concerned chiefly with recording reality, warts and all. It's just sad that today the two schools can so seldom be combined.

It's also sad to see adults so lacking in dress sense.

But they are combined in my case. I am also a 'pictorial photographer' and do for the most part try to make each photo into a picture, rather than just taking an any-old-how snap to document what's there.

Why should this be less of a picture because the men are wearing blue jeans?
Is it the blue that offends you, or the fact that the trousers are made of denim?
Would a naval uniform be okay? Or casual fawn corduroys, as I've seen you wear?

And if you don't like blue jackets, then how about this?
