Medieval Smith

Cast during a medieval show event in an old castle, Germany. The

blacksmith´s style and gesture appeared authentic, and he was so

engaged with his forging that he was not aware of my camera.

Excellent portrait. And I can hardly believe that this is by a digital camera. Wow!

Great color and depth. I'd love to see this B&W or sepia... it would be like a trip back in time.

The B&W photo has probably more "medieval atmosphere", but I liked the colors so much that I presented the color version. Compare for yourself:

The color version is great, the sepia version is a masterpiece! You have the ability to pick out an interesting face. regards, -Jim Btw, thanks for rating my pics.

Great job

Carsten, seeing the colored version, that to my taste is giving more details than the sepia one. both of the versions are very artistic. Pnina

Yes my blacksmith is too young, there is no possible comparison,I think that my photo is correct, but as they say most of your visitors yours it is a masterpiece. The sepia one is very good too.

A really super quality image! i cant believe either, its a 'digital'pic!

Lovely composition. Why can't people believe it is from a digital camera? The advancement in technology makes digital images as superior as analog films if not better - as it can be edited.

You have a great portfolio Carsten! Of all the photo's in it i like this best though... It is like a painting from the old masters. That is why it is so much better in color in my opinion; Rembrandt didn't paint in sepia....
