Hello my dear Caleb

Nice composition and thier natural expressions !
Moderate exposure with f/4.5 is quite suitable for this situation, I suppose.

Thanks for sharing and best regards,

Takero

Cool guys and their cool bike...in very uncool working conditions, I suppose, but that makes them even more...euhm...cool. Great shot, great to see you still delivering the goods here, Caleb!

hello Caleb,
this is a cracker! The subject matter si interesting because of its contrasts. Firstly, these guys and their vehicle look kind of cool despite the job they do. The guy on the right wears a light suit in a coalyard???? There is something achronistic about the whole image, an old way of life and a new age. You have turned the clock back for me as I remember coalyrads like this from my childhood. Living in a Salford, Great Manchester these colyards were commonly found; there was one at the bottom of our street. But in those days them men hauled the coal on wooden buggies.
great reportage shot.

Lost conception (???)
Make it b&w Caleb, and you have a hit...
A real, street photography hit...
After all - the coal tends to be rather black and not a washed blue.

All the best, bro

I really dig this Caleb.
I kind of like the way they are dressed. in suites thoughts goes to workers of the 40 's
the design of the MC also reminds me a bit of Mercedes (strange)
