Yeah--when I first saw this, I knew two things: (1) This is a working man who actually takes as much pride in a job well done as a great photo, and (2) this is the work of a photographer whose creative eye never stops fishing for imaginative compositions. I'd say this ought to make for a very satisfying weekend project completion. :-)

If that log pile didnt already exist, then this is a high dedication photo. Either way, your woodcutter looks exhausted from a job well done.

Sunflowers & Peaches

Comment by PrimeShot:
I love the topic of this image. The gorgeous flowers and that vibrant purple backdrop are wonderful. However, as a matter of personal preference, something about the people in the foreground just throws me off. I know it wasn't a staged shot, but there are competing focal points because the figures are so close to the camera and wearing such high-contrast clothing like that bright orange top and striped shirt. My eye gets snagged on them immediately instead of flowing naturally to the stunning vendor and the sea of sunflowers.

To make an image like this better, I think it comes down to timing. In candid photography, patience is everything. Waiting a few seconds for the shoppers to move along would have left the frame completely open to the vendor, the purple backdrop, and that vibrant display of sunflowers unobstructed.

A 7 from me. That expression is priceless. I can't decide for sure, but I read it as, "Rescue me. Please." :-P
