 There's something I like about the awkwardness of this pose -- the lack of glamour in what we typically consider a glamourous job. This fellow was washing a firetruck.

This wasn't tack-sharp and it seemed even fuzzier after resizing, so I added sharpening. Not sure if it helped or hurt. I also selectively increased color saturation.

Great shot Larry. I love NYC candids. You're quite lucky you live there (in some regards). One of my fave shots of mine was taken from the back window of an NY cab when it was pouring with rain.

Great city, great pic (yours I mean).

Great candid shot. That black background really isolates your subject.

Nice capture. No wonder he looks so tired...I wouldn't want to be cleaning a firetruck with all that heavy gear on.

You got the light just right on this one. With that black background, he looks as if he's on stage.

What strikes me first is the awesome light. Then I see the pose - seems tired. Very nice catch.

I love the lighting. It seems like he is on stage with that dark background. I guess it goes to show that NO job is all glam and prestige is it.

It looks plenty sharp to me.
