Excellent portrait. Interesting POV, by placing the subject low in the frame. It works wonderfully IMHO!

Perfect.

He's sharp and there is just enough background to indicate his trade.

A proud man.

Wonderful portrait. From my Great Grandfather and back through generations, they were Welsh blacksmiths. So this is a lovely connection for me. Great all round skill involved.

I love the framing of this shot, so original and leaves room for all of the Blacksmith's objects. Rather special!

Your empathy with the subject shines through as it does in so much of your photography.

I think this is a lesson for us all.

Marvelous.

Best wishes
