Wow. That is obviously such a very good deed, you won't have to be a good boy again for a long time. Look at that eye! I agree with everyone, Granddad needs a DPC account.

Made me smile. Reminds me of my grandad. He's still kicking at almost 103.

One simple thing could have improved this photo a lot - move the subject much further away from the background. That way you wouldn't have had the shadows showing up on the background (which emphasise the harsh lighting), and also it would have been easier to hide the imperfections in the background (the folds in the corners - Gaussian blur in photoshop could have done that too though, this was an Advanced challenge).

I like subject, props, and the general idea of the shot. I think the lighting is great, but I think the background would have paid off better with black. The model is kinda pale, and the excellent lighting would have still made the hat stand out from the background. That would have also eliminated the distracting shadow of her arm and right behind the neck.

FUn shot. Goodluck.

I find the creases in the backdrop quite offputting.

There are a few things that could improve this image.
1 is the crop. If you cropped a tiny little bit lower, then the finger wouldn't be cut off.
2 Is the lighting. On camera flash is a big no no. even if it is high.
3. Get your model away from the background, at least 2m or 6 feet then you won't see those ugly shadows. And you can throw the background more out of focus.
4. Those folds in the background make it look like a hastily rigged up blanket hung up. (Though I'm sure it isn't)
5. Show us the eyes. Seeing the eyes in an image adds a lot to a picture like this.
