Thanks for the kind comments, Traveller and Cherylm. This was a tough shot for me. The dim lit barn with the white hot metal made this challenging. I'm glad you like it.
Thanks Cat, the shutter speed of 1/200s was not quite fast enough to freeze the hammer, but when the hammer hit the hot steel it came to an abrupt stop. Timing is everything. Luckly for me he had a lot of work to do giving me time to get a decent shot. Larry

I saw this several times before commenting. Don't know how you did it, but there is beautiful motion on the sparks and no motion on the hammer. Good timing. Very nice! -Cat
