The first is a great shot of a workman, and I believe in colour it just would never work, tone, lighting, focus is spot on, the wood shavings are in 100% just the right place to in fill and the light is in the perfect place.
The second, if the first is 100% is 70%, the front of the bench is lit and distracts by about 30% from the chap, not enough shavings and the looks posed. Also the chair to the left is over lit
Hope you don't mind the comments, the top one is soooooo good

I don't agree the foot vice to hold the work piece I believe adds to the picture. In the world of wood working this is a part of the history. As usual you have down a outstanding job with the B&W. Nice shots Graham.

Excellent shot of a Bodger even though he is a craftsman. Bodger is the medieval name for a chair maker (just so I don't get slated for being rude)

Love the "experience" & knowledge of chair making shown in these photos. Number one is my pic too. The second's, expression on his face takes away from the "knowledge" for me.

Thanks for the compliment.
I don't mind you commenting at all, rating the second image at 70% of the first is doing it more credit than it deserves. I posted it so that viewers might get a better idea of what is going on, not as a work of art.
