Working 6...

Very nicely composed, Ruud. As always :-)

Marvelous Colors and Composition.

Very nice photo of architectural restoration work being done.  Well done Ruud!

Good documentary capture

Hola Ruud.

Los temas de trabajo observo te gustan. Bien hecho.

Un cordial saludo, Joaquín.

Nicely composed !  men at work!

Too much nice!

Ruud, I love all of the vertical lines at the top and the crossing and overlapping lines on the bottom. The circular architectural elements and the color of the men's uniforms are a nice contrast and draw out attention to them. 

Nice play of lines and rectangles in a simple daily life event! Great eye and vision! Bravo.

They may be a little cold...but they sure are brave. Great lines and composition. Well done, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

Another interesting find and capture ,well composed and presented.

many thanks for your visits, comments and nice compliments!

With best regards / hartelijke groeten,

Ruud.

Another great shot of 'MEN AT WORK'....in this particular photo, it appears they are repairing some old 'rot' and damage.  Work that they must be very careful in executing.  Good capture Ruud!!!  Best regards, Gail

I'm very pleased to see a photo like this where you have put some effort and thought on framing and composition. The circumstances were on your side as that building behind happen to have this neutral color and uniform pattern so different to the working area. This roof and the work lift both having horizontal lines, and then this sculptured top.

Those two yellow helmets get viewer's attention and you did fine job in capturing the right moment with dialog between those workers. I mean you kept the horizontals leveled and the bottom edge of the frame runs finely along the bottom of the lift too.

You must have had special access to so high camera position and maybe for this reason you worked so carefully? Maybe this is shot from a open window?

I presume you are a oldfashioned photographer who prefer to present full frame photos having this 3:2 35mm format aspect ratio (like myself basicly until recently). I say this as I would like to hear your thought about possible crop from the right to the end of the horizontal roof top, just to "purify" the scene visually by leaving out the sloping roof edge out. This is just an idea, to have something to discuss about... ;-)

All I can say is I would be very happy if I had been in your shoes to capture this fine work scene, Ruud.

Magnífica toma y estupendo documento.

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

An excellent well composed street shot Ruud,regards

many thanks for your nice comments and compliments!

Markku: Het doet mij genoegen dat je na lange tijd weer de moeite hebt genomen om een van mijn opnames te beoordelen. Ook al omdat je eerder aangaf niet weg te zijn van de door mij gebruikte door jou zo fraai getypeerde 'Disney-kleuren'... Je ziet op deze opname komen die kleuren niet voor... Het betreft hier een oud winkelpand dat met de slopershamer wordt afgebroken. Ik stond op een kleine 200 meter afstand op het plein en maakte verschillende opnames met mijn 300mm-lens en koos deze uit als de meest geslaagde. Het was een bewuste keus om de opname zo te kaderen. De MKIII is geen fullframe-camera, ik snijd bij voorkeur niets van de originele opname af. Heb je gezien dat ik mijn portfolio, mede op jouw aanwijzingen, heb aangepast zodat een en ander nu overzichtelijker is geworden om te bekijken...?

With best regards / hartelijke groeten,

Ruud.

Ruud, striking composition with lines and colors. I admire the way you capture and present street shots, in your own inimitable style.

many thanks for your visit and nice compliment!

With best regards,

Ruud.
