Working Man Hands (C&C welcome)

These are wonderful photos. You did such a great job with the light.

I assumed, even before the discussion of his skin colour arose, that the lighting is a mixture of daylight outside (in background and rim lighting subject) plus artificial inside, acting as the main source for the subject and that this artificial light is a somewhat warmer colour temperature than the daylight - be that tungsten or perhaps even light from the heating appliance for the shoes.

In that context, the skin tones look good to me too.

Thank you for the additional comments Dave, Terri and Mike.
