Nice use of Rule of the thids, the fire adds a nice change to the image to keep your eye moving.... the photo lacks a small bit of balance in the upper left hadn corner, though...
8 - Met the Challenge. I like this shot and think it captures the character and feel of a blacksmith's shop well. Criticism; I would like to see richer colors (the fire, the red brick, the black etc). I would like to see more definition on the metal tools. I just noticed the reflection/sparkle on the water in the barrel far left - 'if only' you could have incorporated that more as that is good, but I am sure that would be difficult. It made me think about the water (which could also be classed as a tool in this trade) and for me, adds more character to this shot. Very original. Good capture of a now rare trade. Challenge well met.
