A very gritty shot of this building site. I relally like the way you've got a semi-silhouette, but still showing the detail in the shadows.

A wonderful image,Mohammad!
You really know how to discover the beauty in the daily live scenes!A nice central compo,you captured the 3 workers in a good pose.Very crisp and clear image.You did right to measure the exposure on the background so you get the workers almost as a silhouette.
A fine Photo!

Technically it's OK, but IMO I believe you could catch a more interesting scene... Just regular photo of a common situation...

Great, everybody is on work today, Mohammad ;-)
Looks like on a blue stage, four actors; each of them playing his own part. Quite a modern play...
Great DOF and fine colors.

well, and i don't find it "just a regular photo of a common situation"; why? because for me its a trial of presenting the scene as a frame of the film: framed in bottom and top by the dark areas, the men assembling (or whatever they are doing) look like they were a scene from the movie;
i like here the blue background and the fact we do not see many datails of the workers

This is what I would call a great window, whith the workers at the same level in and whith different directons.
Nice contrast and colors in the window.
Compliments

Another interesting shot from the construction site, Mohammad. In terms of the action depicted, it is a pretty regular scene, but your creative framing with the horizontal layering and use of silhouettes definitely makes a nice photo from it. Very good work.

Hi Mohammad, Thank you for bringing us to the down to the earth daily life. Without saying anything between each other, the workers were smoothly making progress.
The mood of the picture is, like your title, stressful. Nice composition.

Excellent composition, Mohammad. I like very much the hard contrast and the darkness of both upper and lower thirds, and I like also the blue metal wall as a background for this scene. Great.

Hi Mohammad

Good use of the 1/3 ratio rule, & principle of 3, & excellent graphism & silhouettes. I like the variation in lighting on the 3 men: shadow, highlight & partial. Well seen & shot.

Hi Mohammad! Was this taken in your work area? I remember you're a safety engineer, right? Well, I once wore similar hard hats, safety shoes and other PPE (personal protective equipment) during my previous work as an electrical engineer; yes, I miss those times :)
Anyway, I like the silhouettes and colors here, it really shows the men hard at work! A very good photo! rgds!

La part du rêve est indispensable pour construire le réel !
Une prise de vue pleine d'espoir.

J'aime beaucoup.

Excelent and unusual enquadrement and angle of view. I like the silhouettes of the blue in the background and the virtual efect of the walls what seems like a great window or cinema also.

Ver well done and my congratulations!!!

Interesting shot Mohammad,

My hats off to you for spotting such a shot- good eye you have. You have found a perfect balance here between silhouette and non silhouette. The natural panoramic cropping is really nice as well.

Cheers mate, keep up the great work!

hi!
this picture really captured my eye...
really great picture...nice contrasts...and nice thing that you used the architecture to be your frame, well done...
I like that oyu shot them in their relaed posses and one really nice thing is that these 2 men are turned each one on other side...nice...
my eye is just concerned with the one in bottom... I think it would be better if he's out of the frame...but...
anyway comments for your pictures...
