Taken on a farm near a town called "The Rock". Ben is a guy who has had a very tough life, the owners of the farm give him lodgings for work that he does. He was taking a well earned break from the repairs to this chair.

This shot was taken in the middle of the day, the temperature was hovering around 40, and there was not a cloud in the sky. The shed was stinking hot and Ben walked out for a quick smoke in the "cool shade" He was not keen to pose for a shot so this was a quick grab.

C & C more than welcome

Mal,

Beautiful. The square crop works well, and you have great shadow detail as well.

I'd like to see just a tad more contrast in the conversion to B&W, so that you have a bit more richness in the blacks.

A sensual, sensitive image that deserves the narrative. Nicely done!

A moment in time that captures both the human element and a beautifully lit interior - excellent
