step 1: crop a little maybe. just a little.
step 2: shadow-highlights to bring out these backlit guys
step 3: channel mixer to black and white, but only at 20%. it flattens the colors a little bit.

Great title! I like how muted the colors are, it's just like what you would see peering up at them in the glare of the sun. Is that rope the guy on the right is holding the "net"? Not much of one, I think. :)
I find that score to be incredibly low. Even without the title, I easily get the impression that they are working on a roof. What I find funny is that it looks like the two on the right might be tethered together. So if one falls, at least he doesn't fall alone lol. I'm also curious about what they are putting on the roof. Interesting photo that should have scored higher.
Didn't get a chance to vote this challenge but am completely not understanding the score at all. Not that score is a biggie, but I'm a bit baffled. Meets the challenge quite well, love the composition (nice little "v" that Jayson note) and I happen to have a thing for backlighting so I'm big on that part too. Nice job bringing out just enough details in the guys, and I like the subdued color trick. I've done that a bit lately as well (though by different means.) Nice where appropriate, and in this case, it's appropriate. But I think I will submit you for a DQ for lying in the title....
Fits the challenge, but doesn't grab me when viewed. Sky is blown out and has somewhat blown the shot as some detail is lost on this side of the gentlemen. Good luck
Not bad but still, you get no sense of perspective from this photograph, maybe had you taken it to show how far up they were it would have appealed more to me.
Since the sky is already blown out, a little more detail in the shadowed areas of the workers faces would be nice. This would make for an interesting high-key study.
