"Time Machine" Blacksmith

Hi - I love the subject matter and the way you've brought his features to life. My only contribution would be: if you could dodge the area around his outline to make the darkness more of a natural gradient, I think it would be less drawing to the eye, which should be focused on this lovely scene from our past. 

I agree that maybe having a more gradual flow form the lightness to the darkness would add a little more something to this. Overall I think it is a great shot. The detail is amazing.

great shot!! beautiful composed and lighting,congrats

Amazing color tones and lightness, so selective so effective, bravo Paolo!

wonderfully presented, Paolo!

Complimenti per l'originalità del soggetto e per l'atmosfera!

la luce e il grembiule di questo artigiano fanno sembrare questa foto il ritratto di un pastore del presepe. mi piace molto

Excellent looking "working" shot Paolo, just love this guy's expression.

Very interesting life photo!

It’s a masterful composition with amazing color tonality. An eye-catching expressive image with really good management of light-and-shadow. Best regards.

Hi dear Paolo,

You shared a great photo with unique tones and great light managing with us!

Best regards(Bobby).
