Same person as in yesterday's post. Taken exactly 10 seconds later. (Now you know what he was talking about on his radio.)

great colours - lol, yellow blue, yellow blue (on shirt).. camouflage?? good timing. would have been great if there was a slight bit more breathing room on the left

@Emily Ng: Thanks for the comment, Emily. What you say about the left side is exactly what I had thought about it. It was a case of click as quickly as possible, though, and this is what I ended up with. I cropped the right a bit to get the best balance possible under the circumstances.

Great colours, and a real clarity. Almost looks like the guy is posing for you ;-)

Looks like this construction company colour codes the dress depending on which site they are at! He looks like he was watching what was going on very carefully indeed!

He is talking to the guy to drop the thing on your head for taking his photo... he is going to want a cut from any money you make - hehehe

yup, there the timing and actually getting the photo is more impt that that tiny breathing room - photos too polished seem less.. lifely =P haha..

hmm off-topic: what do u think about polished but typical photos? sometimes really impressive, at other times... u feel like u've seen it before.

i saw men-at-work today. was within a red fencing and twiddling w loads of colourful wires in a lamppost. was late n cldnt stop to get my camera out thou..

@Emily Ng: Thank you for this second comment, Emily. Although I can appreciate any beautiful image, I too, really enjoy seeing a photo that has something special about it in some way, so I know what you mean.

Better have that camera out just about all the time when you're walking round the streets!
