very nice idea - but to keep that 'old' look and feel to the image, I would of removed the pail tucked behind the grindstone - it is distracting, and does detract from that overall 'old' feel from your image. Otherwise, a very nice image.
Nice composition but, to me the lighting is too flat and not saturated enough. The lack of color makes me wonder how this would have looked converted to B&W
This shot needs more contrast to really move me. I bumped the contrast up in PS and it makes a completely different photo. Right now, the grays just run together for me... -5 now, -7 with contrast bumped up.... - JeB
