Gramps

My grandfather's 90th birthday is coming up in two weeks. I had a session with him on Christmas and this is the photo I liked best. They are planning on blowing it out and put it on the dinner hall where his party will be held.

What do you think? Is it good or should I go back and try again?

i think you've captured his expression well, he looks dignified and friendly.

Think you might have blown out areas a little bit, such as the upper right side of his head. you might be able to fix this in photoshop if you have the unedited original, by altering the levels for the subject and the background separately

The pose looks great though
