Nobody at work? I feel Jono was busy in taking the pictures, kneeling here and creeping there...-)

Anyway, very well-done, Jono.

Regards,

Choi

Great. Nice clouds too, especially the one that looks like its come from his expiring body.

This fits the theme perfectly! What we see here are abstract people doing their job. Very good and original interpretation of the theme, IMHO. MCsaba

Jono, these are very nicely executed and amusing photographs but they do not fit the theme, which is PEOPLE at work. I am far too busy to to have a sense of humour. ;-) tim

Who knows, may be the next challenge theme will be "scarerows"

It was a joke, in response to your title :-)

Hi MCsaba
Thank you - the robert capa thing is always in my mind when I'm shooting them!
As for shooting from the same angle - you're right, but actually they're two different scarecrows - I wouldn't be popular with our famer friends if I started knocking down their scarecrows!
Hi Flick
Well - they'll be gone soon . . . .but you don't complain about Warren's pavements!

Good, it's died at last. Now find another subject ;-)
Effective treatemnt BTW, nice colours and the triptych works well.

Reminds me to Capa's "Death of Soldier". Is it a CD disc on the head ? (very cool, BTW, and reminds me to that special mirror used by doctors) The title could be "Death of Laryngologist" or something like that to bow before the old master. An original idea, well taken and assembled to emphasize the tough life. IMHO it would give a more "documentary" (and dramatic) feel if you would take the 3 shots from the same position. And may be B&W and some grain to enforce the "drama". MCsaba
