a lot of empty space on the right, but apart from that quite a good image which transports some personality. and with all the dark around him, the blacksmith really sticks out.
I know, the empty space on the right bothers me to. I blame that crop on the old 8x10 mentality of old time shooters. If I had cropped it without the space on the right it would have been too tall for a standard print. Still it is a bit out of whack.
A trip to Williamsburg for ya? The olde fellow seems to be enjoying himself, likely telling tall tales. Nice capture.
Hell I am the old folks.... The local museum has living history days like this a few times a year and we have a civil war group near here as well.
