Good shot. Welding shots are difficult, let alone being a self portrait. Just wondering what settings you had for this?

Awesome! I love that one spark on the left that bounced off. It's a rather brilliant little detail. :)

This shot is well composed - especially for being a self portrait!

Agree with what others have said. That is an excellent sharp detailed and wonderfully composed shot Justin.

Excellent! Very well executed, composition is great, lighting is great, and exposure does not lack behind. Great stuff for a self portrait ...

Like the way how is taken.Excellent!!!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I am pleased with how this one came out! And you would all be pleased to know, the customers truck was repaired and painted, and I will be assembling it tomorrow.....
