Thanks Rompy for your constructive feedback, the pony tail thing was the one thing I didn't like either, I am still very much a novice and need to learn how to edit these sorts of things. Yes there are some comments that are not constructive ... which I don't take personally, but I guess you have to expect that when publishing a photo for the public to comment on. BTW thankyou for the 9 :-).

I think this photo was very good and think it is quite insulting to see comments the likes of "ugh" and "alter it for the children". I thought it fit the challenge really well and was very compelling. The sparkly hat and folks in the background made it even better for me. The only thing I am distracted by is that i keep thinking your grandpa has a ponytail(the girls hair behind him!) I gave you a 9 and wish it had done better. Oh well, can't please 'em all.

I love this picture. I like the contrast with such obvious suffering and a party hat.

To me, this picture says the progression of a human life is both a blessing and a curse. I'll assume this is a birthday party or other such celebration. The honoree looks a bit sad and alone.

I haven't seen my great-great-great grandma in year! As perfect in essence as this photo is...it may be disturbing for some viewers even though it represents a natural fact of life.

Wow. I can't help but feel sorry for this old man. I think you captured his emotion pretty well, to me he seems to be possibly thinking of past times.
