In a Sydney suburb today, the 6th of May, 2008.
I took a series of shots from across the road with my Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS lens, trying to avoid the passing traffic, and this was the best of them.
Thanks for visiting my pages. I really do appreciate every comment made, and always return the favour.

Great shot, as always a nice slice of life in your part of the world. The composition and colours are marvelous, almost as if you got them to pose for the shot.

@Graham Russon: Thanks, Graham. How interesting that you've come so close to my idea for this shot when you say that the subjects appear to be posing, because as I framed it, I had this idea of producing a stylised image, with a static and almost unreal look about it.
nice work shot. like the composition and framing, and i don't think that's easy to accomplish at a construction site.

@danthro: Thanks! I had a go at taking shots at this site before, but didn't come up with anything interesting. This time, though, I was lucky that these workers were up against that plain background, involved in a task that had a sort of group dynamic about it.
los trabajadores con sus vestimentas de colores tan impactantes realzan una gran fotografia "costumbrista" buen trabajo,andrew

@Julio Pulido: Gracias Julio. Eso es lo que dijo Graham también, arriba, y yo le dije que eso fue más o menos el efecto que quería producir.
