EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

An amazing shot. My first thoughts were of someone living rough on the streets. A hard life is portrayed in this detailed, gritty observation. Superb

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thank you so much. I can certainly understand the first impression. Farriers certainly earn the money the make, their job is not an easy one and I am glad that is conveyed through the picture.

A good image for this days. It remembers us of the life outside.
I like the ciose framing and the b/w that gives to the image its strength.

this photo really tells a story - I would have thought the hands belonged to someone living life on the streets as well, so I am happy that you told us who they actually belong to... and then I noticed the horse-shoe nail. You have captured a wonderful story.
