Hard working crew deserve a nice rest. It looks as if he's a painter for this project, and had drank multiple cups of Tate coffee during his breaks. Love your angle of approach here, and the great BW tonalities. Nice work.

Regards,
Brian

Beautiful B&W. Your angle and composition are excellent too. I'm glad to see him catch a few z's. The word Tate on all the coffee cups is interesting and makes for a nice clue as to the place the photo was taken. I like little clues like that, which give a photo some sense of place.

Ryan

Le noir et blanc parait simple à réussir lorsque l'on voit une photo pareille. Je pense que c'est malheureusement une illusion et que c'est surtout très difficile d'assurer une belle palette de noir, de blan et de gris... Bravo.

Hi Joao - great combination of elements here to tell this story, from the obviously fatigued worker, the scattered empty cups, and the comfy couch. Even that distinct trash can logo is a fitting touch, emphasizing just how tired he is, to not even have the energy to make the short trip to the garbage.

Excellent work Joao Paulo. It fits perfectly with your theme. Strong diagonal feel created by the sleeping guy - extending through the paper cups. And thanks to the logo there is no mistaking where it was taken. Well done. Best regards, Roberto

Hi Joao,
very natural, like the low pov that puts us at his level, makes me feel like covering him up, good composition with those cups and Tate label, the dustbin, how tired he must be, love the traces of work on this clothes, very nice b/w, well done.

TFS
and Merry Christmas to you too!

Very nice picture. I imagine how cold it may be as he has a heavy coat by the table.
Thanks for sharing!

Olá João Paulo,
É uma foto muito 'forte', tanto visualmente como pelas histórias que podemos imaginar à volta dela. É curiosa a contradição entre o lugar de ar sofisticado e o ar desleixado do senhor. O tema resulta muito bem a P&B.
Um abraço, José

Hi Joao

Watching your photos for first time I thought what interesting pov! I agree the choice of b/n for the carefull perspective.
I like your way to look the world
I like this shot because you take two human emotions: to be tired and loneliness

Bye

I have already stopped on that one, thinking it was a picture of a homeless (the kind of topics that I do not like, since I feel sympathy for these people and do not think it is right to abuse of their dignity by taking picture of them), but it is not the case after reading the note. However, seing how tired this worker looks makes me think about the toughness of the current English working conditions, with seems to have radically changed between the pre-Thatchering period and nowadays, where the working environment seems much less protective to the people.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Excellent shot and very funny too. I like the contrast between the dirty clothes of that man and the expensive looking leather sofa he's sitting on.
