    Difficult ange to control the levels. Very nice job with the exposure.. I like the framing and the way you got both faces into the photograph. Nice job.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Excellent composition Sebastian. I like you you use the structure as a frame and how you used one of the volunteer to hide the sun and thus avoid flare. I think that you put serious thoughts into something that may seem obvious at first.

    Great exposure and I love all the angles as well. There seems to be a lot of variables going on in this shot that could have very easily ruined the shot had you not been paying close attention. The bright sun, frame structure getting in the way of the faces, etc... Great work.

    Great shot. I bet H for H would like to use it in their literature.

    Re: Roofers

    Two thumbs up. A very refreshing image to look at with many things to ponder (geometric components, lighting, color, expression, ...). My only (tiny) comment is that it would have been nice to have had all of the blue cap visible ... but, then the sun wouldn't have been directly behind the other guys head.

    Great shot!

    Nice shot, good use of the sun for backlight! I'm seeing more people taking building and construction shots. I'm glad and I'll see what I can find that I can use here.

    Great use of the sun. I love how there is NO shadows, yet you have a great, well-lit piece. Beautiful composition and wonderful shot of the project. One you'd see in a newspaper, nice and crisp.

    Good shooting!

    Re: Roofers

    This is awesome. Like everyone else said, the lighting, composition, angles....everything.

    Sebastian - you should really try to get this published - or at least approach the (HH) contractors, roofers, whatever for advertising. Such great work.
