Review comments:

"I’d never know from looking at this picture that the dark figure is a mechanic. But then I can’t read Korean in reverse. I see an arm emerging from a short-sleeved shirt, but the rest is black. I tried cropping off some of the left side, but that doesn’t help much. The window and red awning is what makes this intriguing."

"I don't know what it is about this picture, but I find it really cool. Technically, it's perfect, but even more than that it is just such an unusual subject ... the unexpected, I guess. This would be my pick of the group."
