Some from my collection

This wasn't one of my best but I was drawn to the poignancy of the scene.
This construction worker in India takes a break sipping a scalding cup of tea out of a plastic cup. Many of these workers come out of rural India seeking better paying jobs in the cities and end up as cheap labour.
In time they become experts at climbing the scaffolding and operating some of the heavy machinery used to pour concrete and laying out the steel infrastructure.
I took this as a long range shot, converted in post production to black and white and then threw a soft focus around his head and shoulders.
I like the effect, but your comments would definitely be appreciated.
Sadly, this isn't mine. It was taken by my wife. She definitely has a steadier hand than mine.
This chipmunk is a regular visitor. He usually can be found most mornings sunning himself on a tree limb just outside my house. He stays in that position of hours with never a twitch of his whiskers. Makes for an easy shot, really.
I found the play of light and shadow rather compelling. A wayward baseball, swollen with the waters of the Atlantic lies partially drowned at the pier adjacent to the New England Aquarium.
A bit soft on the focus, I thought.
These three sentinels were most uncooperative and preferred their solitude. They ignored me completely and much as I would have liked to capture their heads in vibrant, alert poses, they just refused. Must have been the early morning chill coming in from the Atlantic.
