A worker with a gloved hand is using a small rectangular trowel to smooth a layer of grey concrete around a concrete column. A strip of green tape is around the column, creating a border between the existing concrete and the freshly applied layer. The column appears to be part of a building under construction, with exposed wood framing visible in the background. The trowel is slightly curved, and the worker is using smooth, upward strokes to flatten the concrete against the column.
