Great composition, and the contratst between the loose arms of the workmen and the coil of tubing is particularly strong. The processing however seems heavy handed, with a huge fall off in light on the edges, if you didnt burn the edges here you might want to check your sensor.

Great exposure on the faces. Could have been heavily shadowed, but you did a nice job of giving the right amount of light.Like the partial desat too.

The intensity in this photo helps it out a ton. You can almost sense "hurry up, take the shot, we need to get back to work". You did a great job conveying that.

This is a good shot, but I think the processing is overdone. It appears to me that all the definition of the shot has been smoothed out. What would be dirt on their faces now appears to be complexion. The piece of equipment looks waxy or polished - unreal. The vignetting doesn't help the image either.

Too many portraits and not enough environment.
