Very nice! Shows the strength of the worker. I can almost hear the sound of the hammer hitting the steel. Black and white good choice. I would like to have seen the color shot of this. Keep up the good work.
6 - Met the Challenge. Good composition and concept. Good character. Criticism; Whilst I like the b/w, in this instance, given the (presumed) uniformity of colors 'in and around', I wonder whether color may have been better. The anvil is in focus but a touch of 'blur' in my opinion, and I would like to have seen more 'definition' on the 'action' somehow. The fore tools need focus or cropping in my opinion. Camera dependent, to gain some 'stop action' on that hammer (though I am sure it is moving fast) would have made this a very good photograph and capture. A little more depth of field perhaps (I just noticed the 'metal bars' in the background), so a different angle, would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. Mean looking anvil, somehow incorporating that even more, would have been good too.
