I prefer it in black and white - it's more about texture than colour. I'd also prefer it a bit sharpened in places, to bring out the textures a little more. Great perspective, and interesting shot - what's he doing - oh just realised - staining some wood?

Good call geodar - sepia could look great.

Good call indeed...sorry for the very low image quality, the original file is quite big...

He is staining wood, yes...I was walking towards him with my camera and suddently other workers around became suspicious, so I just kept walking until I saw some stairs that allowed this photo...even so, I only had 3sec to prepare and shoot before some of the workers start protesting...

thanx for your input,
T.O.
