[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When regular services have ceased on the Antwerp tramways, and traffic is low, one can often see these guys repairing/improving/changing the rails, and most of the time at about the same location... (I often wonder what they're doing, things can't be that bad, can they ? ;-) )

That's how it was yesterday, upon my return from the nightshop, and it was a magnificent sight I couldn't resist to portray. The bright light even allowed me to shoot at 1/250 sec f8 (ISO800)! The high contrast isolated the colours on the welder's protective clothing, which makes him look like an astronaut or another creature from outer space.

Tight crop around the "action", slightly enhanced contrast & saturation.

Hi Walter!

Very well seen the situation calling out for a shot! And also well realized the amazing lighting that even made those beautiful reflections on the stones! Was pleasure to see, TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

HI Walter,

This is one thumbnail I just had to open. I must admit, I had to look at it for a few seconds before I realized the subject. I like the brilliant colors and the lighting.

Probably not a great idea to take too many of these for your eyes!!! :D

tfs, Lisa

excellent shot, very cool, looking at it makes you think you know what you see, but then somehow you do not anymore...
great composition and pov from above with a terrific mix of bright light and shadow and wonderful strong colors.
well seen & captured, thor.
