Warmth in Bleak Midwinter · 03:04 PM

The light remembers of Rembrandt van Rhijn, I think....

Thank you! The warm feel is mainly caused by the fire in the background. Oh, and I underexposed 2/3 of a stop or so. Probably that has its effect too...

Very, very nice. Reminds me of time spent with my great grand uncle as a kid.

Nice portraits!

**Iris** · 01-09-2011, 07:19 AM

Brilliant pictures Rense!
I love them a lot, especially #1!
For me everything works in this picture, the blacksmith, his surrounding, the light and the colours.
Very well done.
