Random Candid... I know, not an Airplane for once?! WHOA!

Well, here it is... something I've done that isn't totally an aircraft.

Saw the Fueller loading up our King Air before it was to head out to Nuuk, Greenland. Only had my 300mm prime on me and got this one.

I like it... could be because I too used to have the same job and standing on a ladder in -22C weather for hours at a time is familiar. lol

C&C is appreciated as I don't do a lot of non-Transportation work.

I really like it! I think the composition is excellent. I really like how the entire ladder is visible, and the curvature of the fuel hose kinda helps to frame/separate the person. The only thing I wish were different, would be a little more light falling on the persons face and mid body. I think the black coat/dark jeans coupled with the shadow falling on his near side cause it to lose a lot of definition and turn into a big black hole. But, that's just one of the uncontrollable aspects of a candid!

P.S. I probably shouldn't tell you my dad is an FAA inspector and check airman. But he loved the photo, too.
