A Day With a Field Worker

My winner: Image 2 — "A stonemason" A stacked field where Image 1 has the best cinematography and Image 3 has the most drama, but both are auditioning for Deadliest Catch rather than depicting an actual day. Image 4 is too curated — that's not a workday, that's a Patagonia catalogue. Image 2 wins because it's the only one with a job site — rebar, partial structures, dust that came from doing the thing rather than from a fog machine. The brief asked for a day with a field worker; this is the only one where you can imagine the worker setting down the hammer, drinking water, and going back at it. The others are all single heroic frames.
