Hello Abbey and Welcome to DP Challenge. I'm so thrilled to send you greetings from the Critique Club.

I like your pick of tones (rosey pink/black) for this picture. I feel it gives a vintage/old feel and that matches your title. You selected a good photo to turn into two-tones (not every photo works well when converted) because you have very dark, very light areas and your subject is pulled out from the background because of that.

I think your background (the house) works against your casual portrait of your uncle. It is busy and competes for my attention but doesn't add any interest to the photo. It has the lightest areas in it and those draw my eye to them. Sometimes with a bit of moving around your subject (or asking your subject to move) works. It is one of the things to think about as you set up the photo and I often forget because I'm so focused on my main subject.

Please pm me if you have any questions. Keep shooting, keep entering the contest, and comment on other people's photos. It's the best way to improve your skills.

Regards,
Theresa

The subject's interaction with the camera give it "The Vibe". A good friendly shot. 9

The crop makes this picture seem unbalanced to me.

Good composition and exposure, though I miss the wow factor which would ma e it a stunning one.

Very sharp focus on the bakground curtains which tends to draw a bit of attention to the candle which is not as clearly focused. Challenge is well met.

I like your image, but for me, I wish there was another element or two to add interest. Good lighting.
