Salut Joel,

This is really good. Love the diagonal composition you selected for the image, the look you captured from the worker, the crop on both workers, the different lines in the photo. It's all good, one of the best photos I've seen on TE.

Bonjour Joel,
J aime bien l angle choisi nous faisant voir les deux hommes en pleine activite. On peut voir avec quelle precaution le travailleur de droite depose les briques sur la tete de son collegue, aux muscles contractes, qui semble t avoir reperer. Beles couleurs egalement...
Amicalement,
Marilyn

Excellent photo. Theme "men at work" is rare here in TE. Really well done. Fine glance of the man.
Regards.

Salut Joel,
superbe tilt pour dynamiser cette scène de travail, et puis ils sont doués pour faire tenir ça sur leurs têtes, je suis admiratif de ce travail minutieux et difficile... Ils ne font surement pas 35h par semaine !
Merci de montrer des moments comme celui-ci.
a+, bonne journée
Philippe

Yes, its incredible how many bricks they can carry at one tiem on their heads. Apart from teh colours, Joel I like the big strong hand as the focual point.

Excellent -men at work- composition.... *****

Hello, Joel--
nIce work here, the tensed muscles of the men show the strain of the labor, and the tilt works well, with the arms providing a "new" vertical to keep the composition feeling somewhat square.
Thanks!

Joel: anything that can be done with muscle instead of machine in India is done that way. I've seen this modus operandi of brick carrying more than once in the north. I like your angle and POV here. The shot is clean and you caught the dynamism well. best, c

J'aime beaucoup ta mise en scene ici, Joel, tout en diagonale, aide par le "tilt" bien sur, et couronne par ce regard que te lance l'homme du bas. Vraiment tres fort comme compo.
Bonne journee,
Francis

Bonsoir Joël,
magnifique composition ( ou plutôt Construction ;-)
j'aime beaucoup le regard presque inquiétant du travailleur.
Bravo.
