Well done mate!

I agree that cold have been post processed better (...next time I can tip you hehe) but, I like the capture and sharpness and other blabla are not always that important.

Almost your higher score,

Cheers,

Tibi

This is terrific! I think every butcher has to have a sense of humor. Good job showing him in his element. (Love the title too, by the way.)

One of the few entries where the photographer knows what a candid photograph is. 8

Butchers are always good for a joke or advice and this image certainly conveys that aspect of the subject's job. Unfortunately, it's under exposed and over saturated to be truly effective - not quite a success from a technical or artistic standpoint, it is, none the less, effective in conveying a candid moment in a butcher shop. A solid entry into the challenge.

Ha! I'd love to know what the joke was. Would have been good to see all of both of his hands.

A great example of a candid shot... I like how you got him in his element.
