that look on the stockman's face also might have something to do with he only has one eye
But doesnt seem to hinder him in any way

Warren - you have captured a part of Australia in a most beautiful manner. All shots tell a story and that’s what it is all about  Chris

Great shots. Take me back to my childhood. A seven stand shed, that would be one noisy place when in full flight.
Only thing that I would suggest is to crop the first two and get rid of the fluro lights. I can remember being in a shed with fluros! IMHO it would also give the shots more of an line pointing to the end wall.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

The first photo appeals to me the most in this series. And you've done well with the lighting if my memory serves correctly as to how dark shearing sheds usually are.
I think this shot could be improved by a couple of adjustments though. As Mal mentioned, cropping the fluoros out would work well and perhaps cropping to square. I also think the blue and yellow drum in the background is distracting. Also, some desat and possibly some added grain would look great but maybe that is taking it a bit far.
JMHO.

Hey Warren,
I think the 1st photo would work better with the square crop. But I've just had a quick play with in and think the full colour/no grain version is definitely better than what I was suggesting. The blue of the corrugated iron contrasting with the red wood/dust is much better.
Sorry for the bumsteer!
