This photo does not say "Something Old" to me. "Age", yes, but not old. I do not find the composition of the shot to be engaging - perhaps a tight shot of him with his face very close to the cake would have given the shot a better focus on the subject. lhall

Think of the nicest way to say this is crap and then repeat it to yourself a few times. Yes the guy is older, but he's really not that old. I counted about 21 candles on that cake. This would probably be better in "Something New" than something old. -Chariot

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - ok
Technical Aspects - good
Meets Challenge - not really
Visual Impact / Originality - low

Comment by RedRuthann:
I'm being very frank in my comments - not to offend. This photo is for the family photo album - not much for 'photography'. I do like the idea and how he's blowing out the candles, but the flash is harmful for this photo. Although there isn't a lot of post-processing aloud here, there is still a lot that can be done. I think the main flaw is the flash/lighting. Also, try different angles. This is only my opinion - take it as you will. Keep working though. 4

This is a nice snapshot. :-) The guy on the left's lower face in the photo doesn't add anything, in my opinion.

This picture has a snapshot quality to it and it only meets the challenge because you say so with the title. I like the expression on the guy's face and better composition and better cropping would have lifted this out of the snapshot realm.
