Nice portrait my friend. I don't agree with your choice of color for the background. I find the red, although matching the flower, is too overbearing. What about a repost with a grey cloud background and a lighting effect of the same you've used?

Good shot, just my opinion! :)

Beautiful portrait, with very well chosen lighting and angle for an elderly person. I agree with Scott, the red background is quite heavy and makes the face seem somewhat pale.

good portrait, it's a good choice to use colour instead of b&w for it. The eyes are superb, but I agree the red backgroung is a little distracting

Hello Billy,
What an amazing portrait is this!
The colours and the light are beautiful.
A very nice frame.
Greetings from Holland,

Hi Billy,

What a nice looking man. He reminds me of my grandfather who was from Cyprus! (he had a mustache just like this). You can see that he takes much pride in his appearance and enjoys having a photo taken. Nice sharp image and nice angle. I like the light and shadows you have on his face.

Yiassou! Lisa
