Wow, good capture which I think has lost it's potential impact but too much neutral space to the right of the welder. He's the point-of-interest so he needs to be at a thirds intersection which you could achieve by a crop to almost square
I really like the subject matter, It's close to my interest. The cropping works well for the composition. The light from the welding gear is powerful. A viewpoint slightly to the left would give the numbers some more space but I guess that would move the welder too near the center. Thumbs up for a clean geometric composition with the interest of a working man. -8
6 - Like the potential here and I am sure the size restrictions do not do this shot justice. Criticism; seems slight rotation up on the left needed, or maybe it is the cropping. Like to see more detail, or focus, somehow on the welder. Just noticed the 'smoke', so that, if possible (no idea how and may be camera/lens dependent) incorporated or 'highlighted' more, may have made this even better in my opinion. Good coloring. Not sure on the frame.
