Taken at an angle through the thick window glass of my office building. I had many construction site photos to choose from; this one is too "busy", but it has more action than the others. Even as the deadline approaches I'm tempted to switch entries! I'll post a few others once the challenge voting has ended. Hope I made the right choice.

Wow, a new personal best and finally a top-ten photo (it helps when there are only 70 entries).
An outtake:

Look at you - you are on a roll! Such an interesting moment captured. I'm amazed at people who can do work like this, especially being able to hold their balance like that. How far off the ground was he? Congrats on the top 10 and a new PB!!
Congrats on a top ten and your personal best. This was my fav. I was sure this was gonna be a blue. Anyways, this is an awesome shot, this is construction.
Congrats on the high placement and especially for beating yourself! It's always a rush to get something new on your profile page, especially in that #1 spot!
I am new to photography, but I do like this photo. Out of all the photos this is my favorite. I love the "Wrestling with Steel" and this is construction in the works!!
Wish the angle was from the front, so we could see his face. But even as is, it's a strong image - excellent sense of energy in it, a feeling of real construction. Well done.
I worked in construction for over 30 years. This sight is very familiar to me. Those ironheads always amazed me with their total fearlessness. This really captures the essence of construction in its true form without photoshop trickery. 10
Ya that's what I'm talking about. This is what I imagine this challenge to be, ironworkers walking the steel. This is a construction shot. This is what I wanted to take... Oh ya, composition is good, technical aspect is good, POV is awesome. 10, I'm thinking a blue ribbon.
