Togs in wrong place?

This morning I was down on the shore of Derwentwater, hoping for mist or a great sunrise. In the event we got the sunrise with no mist. I was at Friar's Crag, a small outcrop of rock just outside Keswick. There were numerous photographers there (me plus another ten or so), of which there was a group of about five or six, plus a few single guys scattered about. Of all the people there, I was the only one in amongst the rocks on the shoreline at Friar's Crag, all of the others were on the flat gravel part of the shore, the other side of the fence. In the first photo you will see where the group was, although when I took the image the five or six had dwindled to two. The second photo is one that I took from my vantage point in the rocks. The group was I think some learners, plus a guy giving tuition. I respectfully mentioned to them that where I had been provided some great lead-in shots, with rocks, a fallen branch, the fence and other interesting foreground details. Where they were stood there was just gravel and the fence. I think they were in the wrong place, but I would be interested to know what everyone on here thinks? BTW, where I was is in the extreme right of the first image, to the right of the fence. Togs in wrong place? My vantage point, with fortunate duck on stone Just a bit of fun. Oh yes, another thing that made me think they missed some opportunities, they all had tripods but none were set low. So their reflections would not be as good as they could be, neither the foreground detail. I had no tripod, but used live view to get the camera as low as possible. Again, what do you think?
