Streetcleaners

Thanks for the entries everyone, they were great as usual and made it difficult to decide once again.

I'm going to go with the following:

Winner: darkslinger
I really like the way you've captured the action in this shot. The composition works really well for what you were photographing and the lighting on the jet of (air/water?) makes the photo stand out to me.

Runner up: Teekay
This really was a toss up between everyone but there's something about a person with a broom that I think makes for an interesting photo, and in this one, there's two! Something about the poses people adopt while sweeping is quite photogenic in my opinion!

Over to darkslinger for the next challenge.

Congratulations to darkslinger and thanks for the #2 spot which I agree could have been any one of the others.

My streetcleaners look posed but actually weren't - they were cleaning up after an "occupation" outside city hall.

Wow! Thanks for the nod shep! I'm surprised, I thought that texkam's homage to Kali would be the favourite.

Great images everyone.
