hi Brian!

Well done! The sepia tone and the higher saturation works perfekt. It´s giving the picture a little touch of mystic!

Great work!

tfs, chester

Just excellent work here Brian! LOVE the extreme contrasts, the sepia/golden tones are excellent! Really nice vignetting leading the eye right to the hands!! Superb!

Hello, Brian.

Very nice indeed and the monochrome/sepia works very well with this one too.

Very good lighting and exposure and well presented.

Best Wishes,

John.

I love this photo so much!
Good choice for the sepia tones which enhance the oldness of the craft and the tool.
The composition with the dark corners is superb!

cheers

Joris

Very good work you did which fit perfect with the theme. It is fine the composition and how you used the lighting and high contrast to emphasize the hands and the tool.
Congratulations and TFS

You really do have a very artistic eye, Brian - i'm not sure how to critique this beyond saying it's an excellent presentation and again superb pp work. Lovely stuff!

Hello Bryan

TFS and for joining in the theme

Hi Brian,
Good work with you black and white images. I checked them all.
I like this one, because of the position of the hands. Light and contrast is well used. Imagen is well sharpened. Good use of black and white.

Regards,
Iris
