This is a wonderful engaging refreshing portrayal. The expression and lighting and framing which make the composition (lines, shapes, spaces) work extremely and subtly well.

refreshing

This should have placed much higher. The composition is strange with so much room above his head (which is why I assume this placed so low), but I don't think it would have worked nearly as well had you used traditional composition. I like this shot a lot.

I had given this a 7. A tighter crop and maybe some additional processing (sharpen, NI?) would have improved bit, I think. I wonder how it would look in black and white?

I love the picture and the look in his eyes. I think the lighting seems dark and there's a lot of space above his head.

Great crop, ok lighting. Love to see it with a bit more contrast or reshot with less soft light.

The more I look at this image the more I like it. I don't think it's so much the quality of the image as it is the expression on his face.

very "national geographic - esque"

I wish you had cropped more of the top so I could better see grandpa's face (better use of space) but, I think the lighting you used enhanced the texture of the subject. well done

Interesting crop (or framing). I'm not sure I like it, but it surely graps your attention.

Very nice shot. There is a bit too much dead space on top. I think a tighter crop would look better.

A good shot but IMO it might have been better to close up on the subject. There is lots of weathering there!

I would have cropped the top of the image, also contrast is lacking so the "age" doesn't pop out

I really like the subject, and it is an interesting cropping
