This was actually posed :) It's at my workplace, and i was doing photos for the company's website and brochure, and this was one of the last for the day. It was a friday, so people weren't too busy and were very cooperative. I was afraid the spark would damage my camera, but i was reassured it wouldn't.

Love the way the weld light glows like that. I think this is perfect for this challenge. The overall darkness matches really really well with the bright light.
The angle and framing/cropping is great in my opinion. I really like how you have gotten all of him in the photo. The rigt edge is darkened enough, that you haven't actually chopped off the elbow, but rather it is lost in the darkness, which is nice.
Focus and clarity are really great as well. I love the detail in the hands, the patch on the uniform, and just the overall shot.
I think that the item in the back by his head is a slight bit of a distraction, however, not really that bad, as the main focus is the light really, and the hands, and had I not been TRYING to look at the entire image, I might not have even noticed it. So I don't really think it's a huge deal. LoL at the pepsi ad. You may have to edit those out if you use this in a company flyer. I see so many things where people bleep out the brand names on things because of advertizing issues. Anyway. Great shot.

Nice capture of the light and darks...I like this shot a lot. I bet that's a heckuva cool shot in color as well. 8

This shot works well in duotone. I actually think you could adjust the black level a tad to give even more contrast with more darkness in the shadows. I personally don't have a lot of emotional interest in the shot. Technically it's quite good, but without something more... it's more of a stock shot than something to hang on the wall obviously. I do really like how the light is spreading out though.

I really like the effect created by the welder. The toning works great in this shot.

I like this photo.....never shot the heliark before and look forward to seeing if a filter is necessary.

Neat. Not a topic I would have ever thought of, myself, but it works very well in the tone it's in, seems perfectly natural to see it in that colour, except for the very distracting Pepsi cans in the background. If it weren't for the modern design on those it would have come across well as an old photograph, which is how the rest of it feels.

Sweeet shot! I like that the arc area is blown out...it should be. It casts great light to the rest of the subject. Great DOF/focus. good job
