Thanks for the comments (everyone!). This is definitely more journalistic than "artistic" in intent and execution.

I don't know about exciting -- modest residential construction probably shouldn't be exciting, since that usually means somethng is not going according to plan ...

It actually is quite "composed" for a capture of an actual scene, much better than the other shots from which I could have chosen. Specific elements I feel contribute to the effectiveness of this as a record of a construction scene are:

@ Worker in foreground concentrating on a task.
@ Worker in the background, possibly carrying something
@ Plans on the table in the center
@ Concrete forms on the right lined up with the edge of the hole
@ Wheelbarrow in profile in the BG
@ Dug out area in front of forms
@ Relatively good detail of forms construction

I'm trying to document the contruction of this house by shooting from the same position each day -- hopefully to eventually make a time-lapse movie of it.
