I had to stand still for a while on this one - a rare site. Anyway I really wanted to use a tunnel - on this particular day I was blessed with a deluge of rain but was of course sheltered by the tunnel- my camera bag has a rain guard that came in handy too. This tunnel resides at the edge of a park where i shoot many photos (Edgewater park in Cleveland). It's a bit scary and there are some great spider webs on lights in there - possibly perfect for another challenge. Both trains and cars echo through this all the time so it was a pretty creepy shoot. The 10-20mm came in handy once again so i didn't have to run too far after hitting the trimer. 13mm focal length here. I'm pleased with this and the effort will hopefully pay off.

post: I wish I named this "THE PLUMBER?" or something - the ideea was that this character is much more frightening as a result of the lighting ... LIGHTING ... get it???

In hindsight, which has less value. You could have named it "Light-Fright, Revenge of the Plumber". This looks like a suspenseful scene from a scary movie. The plumbing tool he's holding could be an ice pick.
Great suspenseful lighting.

Poor guy. I knew there was a reason I didn't go into that line of work. A plumber needs to know only two things. Effluenece (to avoid the vernacular) doesn't flow uphill, and payday's on Friday. I certainly think your picture captures the essence of both.

This has a frightening undertone: is it the swirling dark water in the foreground? I feel panicky "standing" here in the water viewing the plumber who is on safer ground. Great use of lighting.
