Dan - props to you for taking a camera down there in the first place!
Like the B&W and the angled comp a lot
I'd like to play with getting the blacks a little blacker to give it a little more punch maybe - probably just me!

I agree with Chris, it could have a wee bit more punch. Good, though.

I agree with Chris, too, Dan, regarding the blacks. This type of photography (construction/industrial) is very interesting to me. There is something about documenting man's efforts to build and control his environment that is very appealing. I would be doing the same as you if I were in your position. Great shot! (If the editor of your company magazine does not use this image on the cover then he or she is an imbecile!

Well done for getting down there Dan and the shot is strong and provides the information.
I have been disappointed with the black and white results from the Fuji, well, my one anyway. Images tend to have a very grey appearance and always necessitate a visit to the dreaded Photoshop hospital for minor surgery. My old and a lot cheaper Panasonic compact produced mono image that my expensive Fuji would die for.

More contrast is all that's needed in my opinion. When it comes to document the project, you should absolutely proceed with it.

, try out the Pentax K30 or 50, they are identical. Very happy with the small Pentax

Besides it being a nice photo...especially the process of #2...I love these kind of shots. I can watch people work all day now that I'm not.

definitely the second version. love the action and off kilter view, both make things seem pretty exciting down there. well done, good luck with the magazine.

Nicely done Dan and the second works much better. The angle and the movement work well I think.
