Face is slightly out of focus dang it, but I still like it.

Good decision with black and white. I like the flat lightning on the subject. What was the light source?

He looks like Gandalf in the famous movie, “The lord of the rings.”

He looks tough as the iron he is working on. Nice work!

I was going to say that he looks like a Dwarven Smith from LOTR.

It's a great shot, and B&W definitely suits the scene.
