  Excellent shot! B&W is the perfect choice for this one and I like that the hand with the hammer (?) is a bit blurry -- typifies motion.

  Thanks Margot. :)
  
  I hurried this shot a little but then he was chipping off pieces of granite which were flying all over the place and I wasn't keen for one of them scratching the lens, thus no face.

  Ha ha, making a sacrifice to get the shot eh? Reminds me of beachut swimming in the mangroves! This is an awesome portrait - perfect for B&W. Did you have to snap a few shots to get the movement of the hammer right? I reckon it's perfect.
  
  I didn't notice his face down until you mentioned it - I think the shot is better with his face down to be honest.

  Thanks Chris. I think I only took two shots one from front on (this one) and another from the side. This one turned out better so I went with that. :)
