Working 20...

This is a great Environmental portrait Ruud, I work in construction so this image is to me has relevance, years ago i did a folio on construction sites and i think that the characters on the sites are worthy subjects, your processing of this image is spot on.the composition places the subject in a position that both puts him in context and also in a pose that shows the difficulty of his work. very very good image, I rate this a 6 Cheers Richard

Hi Ruud,

Beautiful image. So is that 20 stories or 20 inches?

Fine action shot and a nice POV !!

Fine image of a very hardworking man!  You really seem to be a master of b&w street images...

It is not an easy work what we can see here. Nice work.

You nailed it!...

Nicely done Ruud, the lighting is perfect as are the tones and composition.

Reminds me of Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" - great photo.

cheers, Wolfgang

This is very nice, a little too much contrast for my taste, but still a great photo. Congrats. Best regards, Ivan.

Superb tones for a superb capture, Ruud ... really nice enviroment picture. A hug

Magnífico trabajo, Saludos Ruud.

Excellent blackand white work. Your special attention to detail, lighting and composition have paid off in this shot. He is a good sized fellow working in close quarters, must have been awkward for the man. All the different lines and angles also add to make this an interesting shot. Nice work,

Kind regards, Gail

Excellent capture and treatment.  Much more interesting as a high-contrast B&W than it would have been any other way, IMO.  You got just the right amount of environment in there as well.  I might have straightened it a bit along the lines of the joists, but that's a nit-picky comment for an outstanding image.  Bravo.

Ruud, very nicely done. I love his horizontal position among all the horizontal lines. As always the tones are really wonderful. 

Hallo Ruud: Excellent B&W capture once again. Clarity and Moment - Perfect. Congrats and thanks for sharing. Warmest Regards

And again technically perfect in spite of the low light! Bravo Ruud!

Best regards!
