| This is the weirdest shot in the challenge. This headless guy looks like he has a leg growing instead of the right arm (hence no head). :) Strangely, though, this shot captivates me somehow. The same I find Kurosawa movies attractive although the culture in them is so distant. 9 |

| I don't think black and white suits fire well, it is too associated with color, also the focus is a little too soft on this one :( |

| B&W was not a good choice for this challenge. The OOF feel also doesnt aid this shot. |

| The whites seem a little blown out to me |

| Oh my god, it's the headless forger. I actually like the fact that it's out of focus and a little blurry, but where's his head? |

| I love the idea of this photo. The greyscale usage is perfect. I just wish it was more in focus. |

| he looks like his heads missing. thats very weird. I'd like this sharper too. not all the way to keep that old feel but more than it is. |

| OMG where's his head?? Seriously, the crop is too tight and the whole photo is badly out of focus. It would be nice if the forger had a head. Poor guy. |

Sure is fire in working for man! Great idea for the challenge. It is OOF and maybe a slightly different angle. But I still say for a fire challenge the fire has to be in color. For these reasons I am giving my base a 5

Sadly, with the head not visible and the arm cropped out of the shot, the figure to the left becomes the main focus as the eye is trying to figure out how it makes sense visually. That is what hurts this photo in my opinion.
Another thing that I think would make this better is if there were more of the forge shown (if the photo was cropped / framed looser on the bottom). But that is not a main concern to me. I can also imagine how some might now like the soft focus - but I do in fact like it. I think it gives the feel of a dated postcard or photograph, which the monochrome helps to achieve. Overall I think this is an image that has a lot of potential but does not really live up to it. If you have the chance to go back and retake or recrop the shot, I would love to see how it would be with some improvements worked in. |

| I would have rather seen this one in color. It also seems a little blurry IMO. |

| If it were a sharper photo it would be better. The black and white work well for the photo though. |

| Sorry, but that's really out of focus. Nice idea though. I just can't help but think... Ichabod Crane's Headless Horseman's day job. |

| I like the conversion but would like to have seen a little more of the image in focus (MHO) |
