I gave my "yes", because i see it as a part of the bigger reportage (without this one it can be incomplete). the burned areas don't bother me too much but you can try to recover a bit from the lost lights...
Generally, a series of strong light shade, this is no exception, and that is done on the outside appeared more burned area, but as mentioned @ almansur as it is an integral part of the series does not interfere with reception.

This is a kind of photo where you can not arrange lights, shadows, it's a rare occasion so you just want to have the picture. As stated at international salons judging regulation at photojournalism division:the story telling value of the photo is more important then technical quality of the photo.
I never arrange my photos and prefer not to correct things on computer afterwards. Usually I want that the viewer to see the same frame I saw when pushing the button on my camera.
Author I agree with you completely, reportage rump with other laws, with a proper stage and emotional quality recedes into the background, so I'm for publication.
