A photo taken of my Grandad Norman who was 90 this week. Having lived to such an age means having lots to look back on which I tried to get across in this shot.

You have really managed to capture an emotion here. A bonus is also that we can see a hint of the photograph he is looking at - which in my mind is of him and a wife who has passed away.
To my taste I would have pulled the blacks in a little but on the other hand this phot suits a set of softer gray tones.
Thank you for your comments and votes everyone.
Ellie - I also like the way you can see a hint of the photograph as it allows you to imagine in your own mind what he may be looking at and thinking of. I do have a version of this with the blacks pulled in and it was a toss up which one to post funnily enough! I can always add it to the versions if you like?
