Stunning! Perfect composition, lighting and timing. One of my favorites, although it's pushing it a bit (IMHO) for "harsh environments", but no deduction for that, you needed to enter this!

Very well done. The border doesn't do much; it's almost seamless except around his hat which momentarily pulls attention away from your subject. A seven for you.

I don't know how harsh this is.... but I love the combination colors and forms here. Nice.

Unfortunately (if that is the right word to use) this portrait is so good that it actually looks like a studio shot with a made up model rather than of a shift worker in their natural environment. I am sure this is an image that the voters will either love or take a tad of glee in telling you that it does not meet the challenge. From my own perspective I am just really inpressed by the the muted colours and the sharpness of the subject

Excellent portrait

Great portrait, but I wish we could see some of his environment.
