I like this environmental portrait of the Blacksmith. It clearly shows the man with the live forge, surrounded by all his tools and equipment. You have achieved some good detail in the shadows.
Friendly Regards

Very nice image and I like the lighting and depth. The forge brings back memories when we used to take horses to the blacksmith rather than the reverse. (and I'm not that old !!!)

I too like the composition of this picture. I have the F3.5 version of the Pentax-M 28mm - fantastic lens!
