Grandfather's Hat

Teresa from Mountain View, United States

Don't know how it looked before but I think it looks great! The sparkliing lights in the background is great. I love the backlight on his shoulders, the reflection of the cane on the bar. This is a great photo!!!

Excellent use of sepia tone. I agree with Teresa regarding the lighting. I also see what you mean about the image being the slightest bit soft. I don't consider that a problem, though, as the soft focus goes well with the sepia, giving the photo a nice nostalgic feel to it.

I am curious, though, why he was dressed up in his grandfather's clothes for a night on the town...unless he was looking for attention, which he doubtless received. Is it my imagination or is the hat a bit too small?

Really, a superb photo.
