Great angle and intrest in this. The contrast needs some more pure blacks and whites IMHO. 7.

Very nice! Shows the strength of the worker. I can almost hear the sound of the hammer hitting the steel. Black and white good choice. I would like to have seen the color shot of this. Keep up the good work.

Good use of theme. I can almost feel the grit.

LOVE this! Love that you included someone in the photo as well -- to show that these tools are being used in the trade. very powerful image in b&w.

6 - Met the Challenge. Good composition and concept. Good character. Criticism; Whilst I like the b/w, in this instance, given the (presumed) uniformity of colors 'in and around', I wonder whether color may have been better. The anvil is in focus but a touch of 'blur' in my opinion, and I would like to have seen more 'definition' on the 'action' somehow. The fore tools need focus or cropping in my opinion. Camera dependent, to gain some 'stop action' on that hammer (though I am sure it is moving fast) would have made this a very good photograph and capture. A little more depth of field perhaps (I just noticed the 'metal bars' in the background), so a different angle, would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. Mean looking anvil, somehow incorporating that even more, would have been good too.

Certainly get the feeling of a big man undertaking a heavy job. I like it

Good capture. I like the slight motion blur of the hammer.

Nice...I like the stop motion of him working. The greese and soot are definately realistic. Great in B&W. 9
