Building the Skyline, a photo from Hong Kong, South

Photographer's Note

Another in the 'People at work' series. A construction worker takes (one of his many) breaks whilst building the extension to the convention centre in Wan Chai.

Couldn't really decide on colour or B&W for this, but in the end the yelloe hat won the day.

Hi, friend!
It is very interesting photo. I like your modern architecture. I like your worker, nice and good composition. Well done.

People relaxing at work...........and sure the yellow cap confirms the shot to be in colour, then in B&W.
The shallow DOF is oustanding and vibrant with cool colours.

Hallo Richard!
An impressive and inventive photo, although I do not like these high-riser landscapes at all. The blurred background creates an incredible depth here. A great picture!
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Richard
A very good daily life shot, with the construction worker ideally placed in the frame and a nice bokeh effect of the skyline in the background.
Best wishes
Mark

Hello Richard,
the worker's yellow hat definitely looks great :)
Wonderful perspective with the blurred background, very good composition! the worker is looking at the city at his feet...
the colours are perfect, and I would prefer this photo to remain a colour version :)
Regards,
Elena
