Fun old items to look at. Try for better overall focus next time and bump up the colors in post processing to give the wood and rock more warmth and rich tones that are naturally characteristic.

There is quite a bit going on the smith's shop, making the photo very busy. Isolating a single subject(like the anvil) with shallow focus, selective lighting or zooming would go a long ways to giving the eye a place to focus.

Focus is not sharp but a good idea

Intresting shot, slightly soft on the focus.

Definitely meets the challenge topic, without a doubt. However, the focus and business detracts from all the interesting stuff this scene has to offer. Keep trying, and keep entering challenges! You've found a nice scene here.

Seems slightly out of focus. With a little work and better focus this could be a solid scoring photo. Good idea...

I would be great if this were sharper. Composition is good.

A little touch of contrast and some burning would have made this much better.

This is a very interesting looking subject, but your photo seems a bit cluttered, is a little tipped, and also looks a bit soft.
