Good tones and silhouette figure with the eraser mop.

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
