This is what I do in the real world. Hang off of ropes and harnesses reconstructing roofs. Some days I get home and I have barely enough energy left to take a shot for my Picture of the day project :)

Wondered who the guy with the giant punpernickel loaf was. good image. With a slight tilt you could have made this one more dynamic.

A good sepia of a man on the go. Great facial expression and the load as well as the rope add that gritty strong feel. Bumping up.

The thumbnail of this looked hopeless. The bigger photo looks ridiculous, but in a sly, humorous way. I wonder if we'd have gotten it that they were asphalt shingles if they had been cropped?

Great photo, I like the 'environmental' aspect by including the safety rope and pack of shingles. Sometimes I work with those as well, but they are not that common in Holland. I really hate it when the paper is torn and the shingles scrape your neck.
Working with natural slates is the most interesting imho.

This is really a great shot. Looks somewhat static and staged rather than "a man in motion." Still, I find myself coming back to it. Overall, well done!

Great shot, my only complaint is the centered composition. Really nice.

Very nice. Great details. I like that you chose something other than BW

Good work...tells me a lot about who you are. This photo has a real human in it with real personality, rather than just being a black and white photo of a face titled 'angst'. A refreshing change, and worthy of an 8. I would have liked a tad more contrast in the tones to boost the score.

I do like this shot, so much more than a simple portrait and depicts a bit of life. It doesn't bother me but I get the feeling this was taken inside but can imagine you on a roof. I would have preferred more of a rectangular shot showing more space aboe (in line with my roofer thought). Like the colour as well. (bumped1)

Original! It gives me the feeling you are up high somewhere but there is no reference point to tell me if you are or not, so it is a kind of "leave it to your imagination" photo. Like it (9).

Excellent detail, nice duotone, composition ok. I might have simply titled it 'Pinnacle'
