Men at Work (or not) in the City
This is an arresting shot. I don't know if the subjects are particularly interesting, but the bold lines and colours (and the processing) certainly are. Having said that about the subject, it does look like they're having trouble with the physics of carrying a long box on a hand-cart.

lol.
But I agree, the subject's not all that, but I was running out of material to post, and this was one of the few I had in "reserve". So I went ahead and processed it.
Very amusing, Damon. Thanks.

lol, good one Damon. I too like the colors and editing you have done to assist the subject matter. Lighting too is eye catching...is that reflection off of a building?

Very well spotted, Leslie. It is off a building...

This is a great shot, i'd love to see this done with post processing as a tilt-shift lens would do. Make it all look miniature.

Good PP work on this one!

As everyone else has posted, not interesting in itself but your PP makes the photo so edgy looking.

I liked the bald head of the guy. Did you shoot this while you are flying, Superman?

Great moment, you couldn't have planned such contrast. A black hat, white hat, and no hat at all. The words painted on the road cutoff, make an american who can't remember what you paint on your words philosophize and say: Picture means: 1. Somethings in life are black and white. 2. Somethings are neither. 3. SOmetimes the neither makes you bald. 4. B stands for braking, and when you hit a turn in the road, look for the bald man that means life isn't black and white, and lift the box onto the dolley and make your merry way through life! lol.

Ha ha! Fantastic remark, Sheldon!
Very deep. Philosophy isn't one of my strong points, but I always appreciate stuff like this. Simply can't believe it all came out of one of my shots! I never woulda thought. Thanks, man.
