		| | A perfect outsider's glimpse. It stays with the viewer. |

		| | I like how you created anonymity by using strong contrast.  I'm also enjoying your framing choices.  With a square crop attention to edges is very important.  Thanks |

		| | reading the comments is equally enjoyable than looking at that impressive picture. All the comments reflect what I fell about this scene |

		| | I am with Nam - my first thought was that whilst integral to the scene, the mopper is almost as inanimate as the tables and chairs.  An interesting photo.  I find myself inventing a backstory about this figure whose face I can't see, can't make an emotional bond with - he hates his job, his employer doesn't see him as a fellow human being.  he follows orders but doesn't make any effort to work efficiently - why should he.  He is nothing. |

		| | beautiful tones, lots of contrast, and then the dark subject making his light swirls. |

		| | Looking at these images in chronological order, I'm becoming stuffed by all the terrific shots.  And here's another.  Wonderful composition and rhythm.  I like the sepia treatment but am not enamored by the frame.  It feels like a thin slice of a large cake, a monumental story.  So much to look at and appreciate. |

		| | Really nice elements in this and the tones and processing are perfect.  That he is in silhouette robs him of identity for me . . . and makes him anyone rather than someone. |

		| | Am confused by the frame although I get the idea of a jagged edge - a torn slice of life |

		| | He paints flowers on the floor with his mop.  He's dreaming, and winning the dream.  Tones and grain: you're dreaming too.  Thank you. |

		| | very effective use of silhouette, I really like how he's just coming in from the right side of the frame, makes my eye sympathetically follow him right across the floor to the other side. |

		| | Now, if I were the 'mopper' I'd have cleared the tables and stacked the chairs on them before mopping ;) 
 A winning image is one that makes you think - this took me back to my days working in Hotels/Bars so thank-you :)

		| | inspired use of silhouette. the figure boldly intrudes into the composition with his own geometry(the mop). |

		| | bold treatment, strong contrasts - noise works well |
