patrickcompagnucci 30 Posted February 1, 2021 Thank you Tatiana. He looks like he could erect steel without a crane, doesn't he? :)! Best regards, Patrick Link to comment
vincentoiseau 83 Posted February 2, 2021 Hi Patrick, this b & w portrait of a steel worker has a timeless quality; it takes me back to early 20th century photo's that I've seen on sites like shorpy.com (if you don't know it, make sure to take a look). You have captured his pose well and the tools he carries and the steel beams add to the image. You were right to place him in the center, I think most of us would do the same in a situation like this one. I do not particularly care for the added grain, although it emhasizes his roughness, so I think I understand your choice. Kind regards, Vincent Link to comment
patrickcompagnucci 30 Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks Vincent, glad you like it, and you are correct, the processing was done to emphasize his toughness. I may have overdone it. As always, I appreciate your constructive comments. Best regards, Patrick Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted February 2, 2021 Great stuff. He could be from the famous photo of the lunch eating crew of construction workers sitting on a steel beam 800 feet above ground when the RCA Building in Rockefeller Center was built in 1932. Link to comment

Pierre Dumas 309 Posted February 11, 2021 Looks like a real film photo because of the grain (noise)! Fantastic capture which makes the viewer fully understand the danger and the risk of the situation! My sincere compliments, Patrick! PDE Link to comment
