    Fixing a wall

    This shot was taken just outside of Amritsar's Golden Temple. Here a construction worker, using an abrasive saw is repair a section a a wall. I find his work clothing and "protective gear" interesting from a Developed World perspective.

    Nice capture, Manfred. Good one for a workplace safety presentation. For those who still work for a living....

    I'm looking for a shot I took in Bhutan where the workers had safety helmets, reflective vests and flip-flops.

    The nose and mouth are protected to a degree by his head attire. I have seen many employees of local councils in the UK still going without any form of protection.
    That's a great 'working' shot Manfred.

    This is a great shot, Manfred. I love the geometry. The main diagonal is drawing the viewer down the left, but it is interrupted by the man staring out to the left. And then his body forms a solid triangle with the wall. It must have been difficult shooting a white wall in sunlight - and with the guy just poking his head above the shadow line. Well executed.

    For a "worker" shot, that is a neat image, Manfred.
