Fabulous shot of a man at work.
Lots of interesting detail in very difficult lighting conditions.

"If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers." Joseph Wood Krutch (1893-1970)
Great comp, with the man at the top third, the anvil and hammer (THE blacksmith icon.) strong in the foreground third, excellent exposure and dynamic range so we get plenty of detail but it still feels naturally dark as it actually would have been and the glow of heat playing a large role in the overall impact. The 'smith does seem a bit soft but I assume the lighting conditions either made super accurate focussing a challenge or allowed a bit of subject movement to play a role, sometimes conditions don't allow us complete control. A great image captured in challenging conditions.

It is not "The powerful attack the weak." it is "The fearful attack what they fear."
Alright ..... fav and save.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Ik ga mee met het commentaar van John.. ;-) behalve dat we wat schelen in leeftijd. Goed werk vol sfeer! Mich

Some fantastic shots in your gallery but this one for me tops the lot - the lighting is spot-on great capture. Faved.
