Hi Kiwi_gav,
This is a decent snapshot of some construction workers, but personally for me, it isn't an interesting picture. I don't find it interesting because, while it is capturing some kind of moment, it doesn't present anything about construction workers that I didn't already know.
And that's what these guys are for me in this picture- just construction workers. Their eyes are covered and they're looking away from the camera, so there's no humanity to connect to - they're completely behind their jobs and covered up by them. Their uniforms stand out more than anything else, so it's these I find myself looking at the most, not their faces.
The background is also not very pleasing to my eye, it's too chaotic.
Why do you think this is an interesting shot though?
You hit the nail on the head with one point, the "humanity" factor is exactly what I want to portray. I work with construction workers everyday and want to capture them in a way that shows something different about them. How I get my 'engineers brain' (works well with algorithm, terrible with art) to point my camera in this way im still working on!
