He looks a rather dour individual, but then his working environment was unlikely to have induced a cheerful demeanour. It's a great portrait Danny.

The texture and detailed sheen on the Davey lamp is superb Danny, a marvellous monochrome conversion.

Excellent character portrait - reading the commentary, makes one think about those men going down into the dark.

This is brilliant Danny - composition, focal length, eye contact all working together. Plus a wealth of history that once he's gone will exist in books and museum displays only.
