Our apartment is only three storey's high so ours get done with a vvveeerrryyy long brush that sprays water. More often than not it is raining at time as well.

Hah! Great shot!

SP said...

Now that's a thankless task if ever I saw one! Great spot.

Where do they get these guys? I guess they are born not made.

That would be a nice day at the office! Working outside of the box.

Miranda McAfee said...

Way to scary for me! Nice catch.

Thérèse said...

Did you have a megaphone?
Great shot!

I assume it's a never ending job. You clean the last window, then you start all over again. Talk about job security.

This picture gives me anxiety. I can't imagine doing that job.

Now that is one place you will never see me. Bad enough standing on the edge of a cliff looking down but this would scare the ..... out of me. Nice one all the same Rob.

Laurie said...

Woah!!! What a height to work from...better him than me! He really earns his money! I hope it pays well.

Mo said...

They can keep their job, not for me.

Sharon said...

Fantastic shot. I think I know that building.

marley said...

makes me feel sick just looking at it! I'm not good with heights!

Jane Hards Photography said...

Is he mad! No such building my way. We get a nosebleed climbing on a bus.

Well seen, Rob. What a fantastic opportunity! I love the shot and thought I'd make a couple of suggestions for improvement?

In my opinion (and possibly mine alone!) it's got such strong geometry, and that's such a huge part of the shot, the verticals really need to be absolutely vertical (or dramatically converging, as an alternative for another time).

Not just close to vertical but as close to pixel-perfect as practical.

And for the next time your faced with a shot like this, put the prime object of attention - the chap with that visually powerful red bucket - at one of the thirds points of power. You'll get much more punch out of such a shot - changing it from really good to truly superb!

Remember though, only my opinion ;)
