Expressive shots, nicely done!

My favorite is still #1 : all the paraphernalia of the job are there and well seen - the logbook, walkie-talkie, pen, clipboards, phones, coke, the clock, etc., and all in good balance with the subject. AND, he is smiling a bit, which adds an important part to the story, as if he is telling us : "yes, it's crowded, late, and I'm tired, but this is OK, it's what I do, and here's where I do it..."

The last photo is also good, but tells a different story, it seems...and I always prefer to see photos of happy people....
 
Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and encouragement. This is a very special place with good people. I feel at home here amongst you all. Bless you, merry Christmas and wishing you a happy, healthy and wealthy new year.

Yes, well done indeed. Lovely 'night time' atmosphere, tiredness oozing from his face....

Yes, I saw this as well, it seems we have some very skilled documentary type photographers here. Is this something the Ricoh's do well or just our luck.
While I like them all, all the images support the story with each other, I somehow gravitate to #1 as my favorite.
 
Being asked for, I would also choose the first photo as the best because of the well balanced light in the scene and also because of the man looking directly at me (for a quite long time although we do not know each other, hmm).
