I went downtown to go shooting, looking for candid shots. I had been walking around for a couple of hours and then called it quits. I had parked my car in a parking garage, and right when I was about to get into the car, I saw this guy bellow and took several shots of him. He didn't relize I was shooting him, but when I looked up, all his co-workers, a couple floors up were watching me and laughing.

Critique Club Review:
Overall I really like this photo.
I do think that the parts, bricks, and other material along the right side of the frame are a bit distracting and competitive with the subject of the photo. The board below the man's foot on the left, leads the eye away a bit also. I realize this was not a posed shot, so there was only so much you could do.
That being said, I really like the lighting that brings out texture of the brick, and contrary to other, I think this works best without seeing his face. This photo is for me, more of a mood piece, and sepia feeling of the color tones add to the picture as well.
The one missing brick also helps set off this picture. It does tie the loose bricks on the right, back in a bit, as I study the picture more.
Camera angle was done well, it brings a little extra life and mood to the photo.
Nice photo! |

| The angle of the shot and the single missing brick in the wall make this one work for me. |

| Nice construction work candid and I love the dof on the wall. Very well executed, I can almost taste the dust and plaster in my mouth |
