Blue-white color in "Mark Twain's" halo wonderfully ties to the flame just emitting from his torch, neatly reinforcing the line-of-sight axis of the picture also established by the torch wand.
Mark Twain : yes, that could be another body double. I thought of someone else.
What I like most about this is its immediacy and completeness of self-explanation: "This is how pavement markings are removed; it is night work so as not to delay traffic. This is the tool, and here is the truck."
Agree with the self-explanation.
Paired with text the photo could be an equal (or senior) partner in explanation of a road project, or in a feature on labor.
Disagree with ANY need for any text whatsoever.
Yes. I should have been more clear. I don't think there is a need for text; only that the picture would be a strong component if it were used as part of a print media story.
In fact (and this may come as a surprise from someone as verbose as I am), I generally prefer images without texts or titles or captions or whatever. If I ever create a real photo book, it will have images only on the pages (any caption or explanation should be separate, in the back part of the book maybe). My experience is that whenever text and image are combined, in our society there is a general tendancy to first consider the text and only then look at the image. And by then the view has become biased by the words.
Great low-ish angle.
Agree totally.
