I don't think I could ever bring myself to wear shoes like that. Despite being a little 'busy', you've got some very nice focus on your subject.

I like this, mostly because it reminds me of my shop, which needs a darn good cleaning, because it is rather cluttered. Interesting idea for the challenge, though. I hope you do well.

The title matches well. Personally I would have rather seen a higher view so the piece he's working on is more in view. I can only guess it's some type of board. It may also have helped with cropping out the busy stuff under the shelf. Great focus, detail and expression.

This is a good photo and you captured the moment just right. I do feel however that a darker environment (especially on the back wall) and some light on the face would have focused the photo on that "focus" you are trying to capture here. You composition does not draw the attention to the face automatically.

The focus on his face really shows an attention to detail in his work. Great angle.
