Umenhofer was documenting the work on Sacred Heart University’s Martire Family Arena for construction manager Consigli in September when he noticed workers installing the large glass panels for the huge curtain wall of the arena. “From ground level they’re pretty high up so I had to stand on the mezzanine level and shoot across the arena,” he says.

Umenhofer says he likes the photograph’s “gorgeous fall colors framed by the rough steel. I purposely framed [the worker] using the rule of thirds to balance the detail in the foreground with the wash of color in the background.”
