G’day Samantha,
Hah! So you are THAT Samantha – the one with the great blacksmith photograph!
All the accolades I heaped upon the copy in another site are heaped here as well.
I can see why you made this background and I believe it is very effective and works well with the subject but my personal preference leans toward more natural backgrounds.
But don’t cut yer wrists over my comments kiddo, they are but one man’s opinion.
Besides the overall quality and attractiveness of this very good image negate anything I may say against it.
God blesyou and yours,
Dennis

Thanks Dennis,
This Blacksmith is a teriffic man and one that i am very grateful to for giving his time to me to capture his passion and hobby, a hobby that is dear to me as my grandfather was a blacksmith, I never met him unfortunately but this wonderful technique that allows these guys to manipulate steel into the most amazing items just facinates me.
Thanks again for your comment!.
