Women of the Wild West in the late 1800s were no shrinking violets. They did all the so-called "womanly" chores of cooking, cleaning, sewing, mending, planting, harvesting, and also pitched in with the cattle roundups, branding, running businesses by the side of their husbands.

Fits challenge well. I would have liked a tighter crop especially the top left. The barrels at the bottom tend to distract from the main focus of the picture.
This is nit picking, but the glasses seem a touch out of place. OTher wise this is a ncie picture. Maybe a slight bump in contrast to bring out the 'old' feel
Really interesting image, nice environmental context. i doubt whether women were allowed to do that work way back then but it doesn't matter for the pic. If you were looking for ways to grow its score, perhapds the bright light on the forge base is distracting from the main strength of the image. I was thinking about how to take that away and figured that you could use an upside-down graduated mask for the bottom half of the pic. Depending on the opacity of it, you could then really force the eye into the main part of the image and I think it would look seriously powerful
