Nice capture, I like the subject, but I would go back and try to do it more graphical and see if the back ground could be excluded somehow....

I agree with Erik. Lots of potential with editing

I like to see a clean pattern repetition here too. Play with the angle
and the depth.

Yes consider both a re-shoot and different post processing. If you feel like it!!!  ;)

Erik, Elsa and Frank  thank you all for your tips and advise.   I just stumbled across the (new) cleaners  with a 50mm 1.8  only, and there was not much space to navigate 'cause of parked cars. 

I shall look into the different post-processing and a reshoot.

This was the original RAW by the way.

Sure do a reshoot maybe low angle and as wide angle fl as possible:)
Have fun!

Not really satisfied yet, but it's in progress   ;)

I feel that this project is on a good way. The repetition of forms and the color contrast really make the picture.

Of course the light is really bad anmd I feel yozu should be farther away to make for a flatter field. Is it possible to shoot this at 90mm for perfect geometry?

And maybe do an HDR to retain all detail in the high lights?
