i wish i could see more detail of the rolled up part of his glove, it looks bumpy and full of texture. otherwise, i think this could maybe benefit from a bit more contrast.
The challenge is texture and though there is some here I'm drawn to his gloves because of the color. Texture doesn't seem to be the subject of this photo except that he works with texture. I'm not saying dnmc but a shot of the fresh laid cement with the leveler working it from rough to smooth might have been a better shot for the challenge. If I were to see this shot without knowing the what the challenge was then I wouldn't think texture.
This would have been more effective if there were more cement on the trowel, but the author may have intended a different approach contrasting the smooth nature of the work gloves as opposed to the cleaning tool and background. If so, it works.
don't really have anything bad to say...nor necessarily good either...I am struggling with trying to find what exactly has texture...the gloves, mud or the trowel...colors are good
