CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE

81??? No freakin' way? When I voted on this, I even almost made the comment that he didn't look elderly enough to be in this challenge!! Maybe you should've emphasized his few wrinkles or something. hahah. oh wait, this was basic. no, maybe you shouldn't have. :P

Compositionally, I like this crop. It shows enough of his face to really show the subject, but only show part of it seems to say that while we can see part of him, the photograph can't tell EVERYTHING about him.

Technically, you have nailed everything -- from focus and exposure to the bw conversion.

Also, while I don't know your father, it almost looks like his face and mouth are "stern" but his eyes are "smiling."

Great shot, and deserving of a ribbon.

I guess you're lucky because you (meaning the person in the picture) got a lot of junkfood?

I really like this one, I think, better than the other one. This one seems much more simpler and that appeals to me

The *only* thing I don't like about this is the slight textured/overlay, and I think the reason for that is that it makes him look like he is standing in front of a sign or something and disconnects him from the surroundings he is in. Other than that, this is an awesome shot!

new equipment is always fun. it seems a bit "gray," maybe play with the brightness/exposure just a hair, or contrast just a bit?

I like the door as it gives some scale and context to the shot, but I don't like it because it competes with the subject. Incredible lighting.
