Cleaning the Printer's Plate

Taken with my Canon Rebel XT at the Texian Market Days on the George Ranch in Richmond, Texas. Suggestions for making it a better picture?

Default Some times less is more

This is a good shot the way it is- it tells a story. You could have shot his upper body and face and had 2 different shots. His hands are rough and red - shows he is a worker and doing his job. I maybe would have darkend his sjhirt in the upper part of the picture. One's eyes are drawn to the light white instead of the hands. Outer edges should always be darker. It helps keep the eye in the center of the picture.

Good point steinr98, but it definitely tells a story about the hard working man!

I like the rawness of this photograph. I think Black and White would look amazing too.
