Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: Excellent! You did a fantastic job, especially considering the 1 second exposure, keeping the worker in focus while he was grinding metal. I like your choice of white balance here, giving the photograph a very moody, warm feel.
Lighting: Also very well done. Your setup works very well here, keeping just enough detail to make this a very interesting photograph. The sparks provide great light of their own, while the worker and background have just enough light to keep the eye moving around the frame.
Composition/Content: This is the only area where I'd like to see just a little bit of improvement. I think that the sparks trail too much off the right side of the frame. It provides for a very strong leading line that leads the viewer right out of the image. Allowing us to see more of the terminal ends of the sparks would have added some to your score, in my opinion.
My Opinion: I believe that you met the challenge very well. Between the flying sparks and the sweating worker, there is no doubt that this represents heat. Nicely envisioned and terrifically executed. With a slight composition change, this would could have broken the top ten. Congrats on a strong, top thirty finish.

| A great shot, and would have done better in the environmental portrait challenge imho (though will probably be proved wrong) first pass was a six, bumping to an eight. |
