Very nice portrait! I was amused but not surprized to read that you mother doesn't like it. I have the same problem with my dad, he hates my best portrait of him also shot in the low key (which incidentally brought me my personal best score on this site). What can you do, nobody wants to look old :).

congrats on the ribbon!

nice light, but too much noise reduction, apparently. There is no texture left.

I also prefer this to your entry. It has a strong film feel to it. How did you make the grain so nice?
