 Left to the imagination we can often think and fear the worst. Nothing in this picture gives any explicit indication of what has happened nor why the man is in despair - if thats what you are imagining.

As it happens this is a blacksmith and he is simply wiping away the sweat of his labour. Our worst imaginings rarely turn out as bad as we fear.

Just taking a look through your portfolio and came across this, really underated imo. Love the emotion it portrays and think it should have scored alot higher in the challenge. Very nicely done.

Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.

Excellent shot, you read the challenge description and used light to make a very dramatic shot. I gave this an 8 whilst it was voting.

There is not a lot to critique here to be honest, a little more sharpness would be my only suggestion.

It really is an excellent emotive shot. Well done indeed
