A Stonemason's Workplace

A few weeks ago I went further south on our island to a small outdoor museum with remains from the stone industry. In winter farmers on Southern Gotland had extra work chopping sandstone, many of them died early from silicosis. The museum is one of those places with old cranes and upturned wooden boats used as shelter from the sea while working. I used a photo as reference, but used my artistic licence to move and remove some features. It was a greyish overcast day with diffuse light and low contrast. My goal is to set the correct values in one go, but that is far away, so I had to (over)work on some areas. Any comments and suggestions are most welcome!

Thank you, Grainne. I think that sometimes we get a bit "home blind" (Swedish expression where I don't know the corresponding English. Hope you get the point.) This forum is a great way to see with fresh eyes. And also for constructive critique. I am already onto my next story.
