Guest		28-Jul-2005 03:35
Great mood and lighting captured, wonderful portrait

Willa Dios		19-Mar-2005 21:35
Perfect, LC. I love the look of your galleries. Keep 'em coming! ;) Willa

Beautiful. And a candid - really? Wow!

Guest		03-Mar-2005 21:10
This is so awesome. I hope that you printed it. Vera

Guest		02-Mar-2005 15:39
this b&w is so sharp..the lighting is perfect..great image

Steve Pepple		26-Feb-2005 04:38
THis is very nicely done. A wonderful environmental portrait. I really like the B&W version.

Guest		25-Feb-2005 23:39
Either picture is good! Especially that expressive face of the blacksmith. The BW has very good constrast and the color photo is monochromatic, impressive!

Pedro Libório		25-Feb-2005 22:50
vote! fantastic stuff, both versions.

Sheila		25-Feb-2005 00:13
Very impressive. I like elements of both the B & W and the colour.

Cheryl Hawkins		24-Feb-2005 23:20
Awesome. The black and white tones are very rich looking. Wonderful!

John Finlayson		24-Feb-2005 22:20
It is an excellent portrait/candid. Almost cant believe it isnt a studio set up, so perfect.

Guest		24-Feb-2005 21:33
Both are magnificent.

Stu		24-Feb-2005 20:23
These are terrific shots, LC. Guess which of the two I prefer!

Lee Rudd		24-Feb-2005 15:17
what a wonderful portrait! Great B&W

markvm		24-Feb-2005 14:32
Great B&W! Very nice composition too!

Johan Toll		24-Feb-2005 13:01
Very nice photo! /Johan

Karen Stuebing		24-Feb-2005 10:35
Great conversion to b/w. I have trouble with it also. This is a beautiful clear candid. I love your historic shots.

Ian Clowes		24-Feb-2005 09:49
I thougt it posed! What a great setting.

type		24-Feb-2005 09:11
Excellent work, especially as it's a candid that looks so pristine.

Antonis Sarantos		24-Feb-2005 08:11
This is an awesome image and i think that has nothing to do with my two cents advice. It is one of the most inspired portraits i have ever seen. I want to say it this way: Voted with both hands!!!

Guest		24-Feb-2005 03:09
wonderful

Cliff		24-Feb-2005 02:59
Marvellous image in both colour and b&w. The choice is so personal, but my clear preference with this particular shot would be the B&W. The focal point is the smithies eyes and the light falling upon them and that is much more obvious (to me) in b&w. Beautiful shot either way :o)

Guest		24-Feb-2005 02:55
Really nice B&W technique - maybe you can teach me now? Great crop and composition.

laine82		24-Feb-2005 02:10
The colour defines the tools, the peeling paint, his soiled trousers & the glistening grey of his beard so for all those reasons I prefer it to the black & white. Besides, you do colour so well..:>)

littleheifer		24-Feb-2005 02:09
Wonderful shot. Perfect B&W conversion. Nancy

Ray :)		24-Feb-2005 01:59
A masterful shot. Gets a vote.

Gayle P. Clement		24-Feb-2005 01:57
Nice in color, but wonderful in B&W. It does seem like you've got it!

Coleen Perilloux Landry		24-Feb-2005 01:53
Absolutely wonderful.

Photogenix		24-Feb-2005 01:44
Classic picture, classic expression.

Elaine (etfitz)		24-Feb-2005 01:39
Wonderful photo! Great b&w work!

Guest		24-Feb-2005 01:38
This photo is outstanding. A pleasure to look at.

Di		24-Feb-2005 01:35
This is very nice. I like the b and w. Very well done!
