Last Blacksmith of Old Nineveh 2.

A dying skilI think ?  Lots of things here to discover.

Saad, this is wonderful. The layers of textures work very well. The arrangement of the craftsmen is perfect, with the focus being on the hot iron. Beautifully rich in detail. 

A great traditional skill depicted in fine detail here. The single bare light bulb shows the crowded confines of the Blacksmiths shop, and illuminates the action as the hammers about to fall on the molten metal. A fine story told with just one shot.

Well done Saad!

Regards

Alf

This s amazing a rudimentary iron smelting lab the old fashion way. The setting and the workers and hot iron all fit together. This am amazing photograph and great record. Regards, ifti.

I love pictures of blacksmith shops.  They are always so delightfully cluttered with interesting bits of history and technology in its early developmental stages.  Actually my mother was a neatness freak and I have been rebelling all these years.
