Lesson here: Don't second guess yourself. You are talented. At some point you hit "enter" because you thought, "I completed it." That fact alone meant it was special.

You didn't know you made a classic image in a style reminescent of the great Life magazine photographers? You did. Now ... go ... do it again.

All the top 5 photos must provide an original. In this case the photographer admitted to not having an original so there was no choice but to disqualify the photo unfortunately.

Terrific "action" shot... You got the guy in mid-flex, with a great look of effort on his face. How cool would this shot be with nothing but sky in the background!? :) Obviously, nothing to do abut that; nice shot!

great shot. Lot of human feeling in this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/14/2005 06:27:08 AM
Good shot, I really like that you've captured the attitude (position and expression) of the workman candidly. Works well in b&w.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

If it weren't for the new building in the back this would be a real old fashion type of image. The pose is right and everything that has to do with the foreground of the picture, the background I don't like.

What an awesome capture. All the right elements. Deserving of a ribbon.

Fortunately the title is the only thing wrong with this photograph and that can be easily fixed. This is an outstanding slice of construction work frozen in time. The results of this man's labor is implied by the finished building in the BG. The casual backward hat and extreme body posture, as well as the careworn face all add up to a scene any professional photographer would love to display in an exhibition. My Blue pick for the week and will add to my favorites. Congratulations.

i love it. the leaning man is emphasized (for lack of the right word) by the opposing slant of the windows in background. Well balanced shot. I can feel the gravity and height.

I really like shots of ordinary people doing their thing. The expression this guy has is great. 8

Wonderful action oriented shot. I love that we seemed to be perched high up with him. The look on his face is intent and wonderful, you captured the perfect moment. Man and machine. The black and white was a great choice.

ANother great B&W shot. This reminds me a little of those classic images on the men working on the Empire State Building. You really captured this guy's hard work.

I like the style, the building in the back adds to the character of the picture.

I like this shot. Composed nicely and an interesting capture. The man at an angle, the rebar, and the building in the background makes for nice lines and forms. Nice job.
