i know its not the conventional photo for this challenge but the challenge has no deatails and so i am free to express my artistic thoughts and when i saw these guys cleaning the windows my mind wandered and i thought what a cool job to be so close to the sky and so close to the earth at the same time.......

there's a freedom that comes with hights for me which is why i climb alot....so now u see my logic...

this will prob. be shot down b/c of the fact that the title explains to the comon viewer why it fits the challenge but i hope some ppl. see it title or no title.....

ok that is enough of my ranting....i wish i could spot edit some dust that was on the back of my lens but i can't so it is in the shot.

thanx for all the views votes and comments....those of u who do comment should feel good about yourselves....

ok i'm done

I love the monochromatic effect of this photograph. The lines of the buiding are bold compared to the soft nature of the sky I am surprised you didnt get a higher score on this one.

Nice shot--I've been trying to get a good shot of some window-washers for a while now.

This is a very effective take on the theme..nice tones throughout your shot.

The focal point of this image is too small and centred.. a different composition might help.

Very good photo, I personally like photos that use one color predominantly, blue in your case. Perhaps I'd have like to see in framed horizontally rather than vertically. It's also may just a bit too dark.

Slightly soft, but an excellently composed and exposed photo with really appealing colours. 9

very nice how they almost blend in but they dont.. it reminds me of the digital world in thirteenth floor..

Very cool! I love this. The perspective of the tiny worker against that huge building and the sky is what makes this for me.

Super monochromatic theme. The stark lines of the square building against the softness of the clouds in the sky is an interesting take on the image.
