I Wouldn't Touch It With a 10 Foot Pole · 05:35 AM

Because a 10 foot pole wouldn't reach.

A dockyard worker strains and stretches while touching up the paint on the bow of the container ship MV Uni-Promote at Pier A of Yokohama's Honmoku Wharf.

This is a great photo.. perfectly conveys the massive size!!

A terrific photo - the constrast in sizes (man vs ship) and colors (red work suit vs blue-green hull) is striking. This is the kind of image that shows up in National Geographic. Congrats.

What was it Stephen Wright said? "It's a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it."

Great Shot. I like it

Peter Zack · 09-30-2007, 07:39 AM

Well done, The detail is perfect and the colours are right on. Love the read suit against the blues and greens. You captured the red well and it has detail, which can be tough to get. Love the scale against the large ship. That guy has strong arms!!

Duh_Vinci · 09-30-2007, 08:51 AM

This is perfect!!! Colors, textures, detail, contrasts - very well done!!!

Yep, it's a perfect shot.

Igilligan · 09-30-2007, 11:52 AM

I love this shot. The colors, the scale, everything about it....
My only problem is the title, that pole has to be 30ft long. haha

good eye and a great photo with that old tak...

Phenomenal work, Mike. I too love the scope and colors.

**Eaglerapids** · 09-30-2007, 08:04 PM

That's what we're talking about!
Great picture, I love the colors and scale.

skamaraju · 09-30-2007, 08:29 PM

Great shot. I would prefer to have the painter off centre to a side for a good balance in the image, rather than in the centre.

Nice one. Love the saturated colors.
