Protection

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Workshops are full of hazards. Sharp serrated instruments can cause nasty wounds; hot metal can cause hurtful burns; and flying sparks and bright lights can blind eyes.
Normally one would wear gloves to protect the hands. Here in the UK this kind of work is governed by the Health and Safety Executive and stringent controls are set in place to ensure safety at work. At least this kid has a mask to protect his face and eyes.
But what of his feet? I doubt he wears espadrilles to be fashionable - and they certainly don't offer his feet any kind of protection. |

Casper,
It is a pity that the workers in many part of the world are not working under a safe environment. Even, here I'm not so sure how much protuction the mask is really for his eye sight from the glare and light. It may just be to protect him from the spark that was flying.
Great shot with detail of the light and spark and the boy worker. It depict very well the environment of the working condition.

Hi Casper, looks like the natty footwear is the fashion at this particular workshop. Let's just hope they don't come to any harm! Again, really nicely exposed and great detail.
All the best, Roberto
Hi,
Well done,
Congratulations.
