Hard to get a "feel" for how high this guy is but believe me, he's up there!! (about 3 stories up) I have a deep respect for construction workers...they have to combat the fear of heights and perform "highly" complex technical skills to get development accomplished.

This is a good idea, but I think it would be better take from farther back. You can't tell from this view if the steel worker is on the first floor, or the 100th.

This would be great if you could have been so much closer to the subject of the shot. Perhaps looking up more giving the viewer more perspective of how high these guys do there things. Too much happening with all the metal work that detracts the attention away from what you are trying to convey. Good Luck

Needs some context IMO to show why it's risky, is he up high? Can't tell, could be on the 2nd floor. Interesting framing.

there's a little bit of purple fringing near the top where the girders meet the sky

This could be really good, but other than the structure indicating a large building I can't tell the guy is more than 3 feet from the ground. I'd like to see much more space below him but with him still highly noticeable.

A tighter crop could have been better.

Nice tones but the title seems a little too dramatic for the shot - looks like the most un risky shot of a builder I think you could get?

Nice use of intersecting lines however i don't know that this specific pic captures the risk of this job.
