I gave this a 7. Excellent reading/insight of your comments. You now have a very good portrait of your grandfather. If it took a 'photo challenge competition' to get it, so be it, either way, it is now 'captured'. You have something special here that no words can explain. |

Great color of skin tones , like the tilt and angle of subject that is set well against the black. Good luck on this eye popping study. -8- |

The light is just perfect for showing off the texture in the gentleman`s skin & clothing.The plain dark background is a great backdrop also. |

Such character. I like how you didnt try to smooth anything out, and the light just hilights every crease. |

A portrait of a man whom we can see the effects of time and experience that shows us a 'roadmap' of a life lived. What makes this gentleman stand out of a normal crowd is the fact he has just one eye. It is a little unsettling to observe at first but then one gets to wondering how this man's life experiences lead to his appearance - there is a story there waiting to be told. My critique on this photo is that I think you could fill more of the frame with the man and get rid of the negative space on the left. A closer crop on just a head shot would improve the photo and keep the eye's attention directly focused on the main subject. |

The lines and texture of his face conveys so much character. Simple yet compelling shot. 9 |

With all the things that photoshop can do, couldn't you fix this gentleman up a little?
;-) Very nice. |
