The images are very captivating and very expressive and they should be as they come through Getty, Associated Press, Reuters, etc. and that implies of course real quality. As you may have already guessed the article presents in photos people at work, but the trick is these images come from all over the world and capture a variety of professions and people in different circumstances. I think that the article, as a whole, so both Part I and Part II, is in very good spirit especially in these times of economic troubles.

My favourite images from both parts are, in no particular order: At Work Part I - image 1 - the man and the clocks, just have to love the light; At Work Part I - image 17 -
the shallow depth of field makes me wonder about the details at the tip of that pincer; At Work Part II - image 30 - the dof is great and the dark dirty hands in that light truly inspire in me the hard work of the miner.

So best if you watch and read the details yourselves.
