Nice Bri! First of all, I like the way you've composed the shot. And I really like the decision to desaturate, leaving the horseshoe red hot! Nice B&W tones through the rest of the shot.
Great shot.

Nice situation to use the effect and you've done the pp well - good work! I think the image would look good all in b/w as well. I like this shot, Bri....reminds me of the smiddy that I used to live near, in Peebles.

Hi Bri,

I really like this shot the desaturation of the shot with the red only showing is very effective by using layers it doesn't make it easier. I like the pov the motion blur of the hammer is a nice effect the b&w image has nice shades and tones well done.

Regards
Jon

Hello, Brian.

A very nice photograph here with excellent processing work to desaturate all of the picture with the exception of that lovely cherry-red of the horseshoe.

From the point of view of composition, the horse-shoe sits near a "powerpoint" of the picture according to the Rule of Thirds which is supposed to be one of the major rules of composition.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.
