Even though I'm a big B&W fan, this shot works best in color. The cold cold blue fights the red and brilliant white produced by the arc.The semi-bare trees, the welders heavy dress are at odds with the blazing sun. The vise grip/welding clamp in the foreground vs. main subject in the middle ground only compliment the tension of hot and cold, as well as the plurality of natural and man made suns. I only seem to pass through Tehachapi in the winter, which might help explain why this photo makes me so c-c-cold.

Thanks for the advice, Sean, but I have no money to buy anything extra for my camera! I'm lucky to have it, since it was a hand-me-down. So, I just have to make due. It's a pretty decent camera, but nothing near a professional model. One of these days I will be able to get myself a nice camera with all the accessories.
I do appreciate you commenting  )

Dunno whether I'm right or not, but maybe you should have thought about protecting you CCD from the ultraviolet rays coming from the arc. That's what causes Arc-eye in humans eyes. Maybe a skylight 1a/1b filter would have protected your camera's sensor a bit?

Thank you, Howie! I am still really torn between the color and B&W. I really like both!
