Great photo! Love the strong composition. The steam in the lower right really adds to the balance.
How cool that a centuries old craft is still practiced! Neat photo that really tells a story.
Thanks Betty and Kathy. I forgot to mention in the post that the steam is coming from the machine they use to steam the wood strips that are to be bent into barrel staves. I took a number of photos trying to get perfect timing between someone rolling a barrel through the doorway and a big puff of steam engulfing them. The two elements of the composition weren’t coordinating their activities as well as I had hoped, but this one wasn’t too bad.
