Very nice image. Works very well for the Naturally Framed challenge, as the carpenters are framed in a carpenters 'natural environment'. Focus is excelltnt. I like the detail on the wood and sky. Their faces don't seem clear though. Seems like the focus is good, but maybe just too small to see much detail in their faces. Looking at it, it may be the shadow over the face of the guy on the right that makes it a bit difficult to retreive detail in that area.
The angle really makes the photo in my opinion. I woul dchange nothing about that. Perfect angle and 'framing'. Great placement of the subjects within both the frame of the wood and the frame of the photo.
I like the black and white for this image. Not sure why. Maybe it's the dramatic sky that makes my eyes enjoy seeing this without color.
Other than the slight shadow of the man's face, I would have to agree that this is an excellent image that needs no major adjustments.
Congrats on the placing and score.

This is one of my favorites. I like the angle of the shot and the contrast of the lights and darks plus the humans amidst the hard lines of the timbers.
Nice sense of humor/irony! :) You did a good job taking simple/normal/boring picture and turning into a great image through exposure, framing, and choice of bw.
This is awesome, baby! Perfect...! I love it. I think using B&W was a great choice on this image. It's wonderfully framed, but the picture and the building. Great title. Great Image. My favorite in this challenge. Good Luck, hope you get a Blue Ribbon! <10>
I like the angle that you presented in this challenge though the fact that the older gent is defying gravity in his stance really throws me off. The shot fits the challenge, is crisp and the lighting is good. Good luck!
