Shipwright

I asked this man if I could take his photo while he worked and received a curt, "Den apogorevetai" (It's not forbidden). He was kind enough to turn the plumbers crack away from the lens for the shot. I was attracted to the chaotic scene with shavings and garbage around but also the weight of the boat teetering above him on flimsy supports. Thanks for looking.

g'day black,
lots of interesting detail in this but print quality is flat and doesn't add to the presentation

Many thanks for your comments!
I'm not sure I find it flat. Perhaps just a heavier burn on the boat in the upper left hand corner would keep one's eye from leaving. Anyone else see this as needing significantly more contrast?
Thanks again for looking and commenting,
James
 
This is a great shot. I would burn the upper left corner as you said, but all in all... I love the story this tells! Nice shot James!
