my grannie's bf Photo

Photographer’s Note

Meet my grannie’s bf, Vicente. He turns 92 today. Vicente is a widower and has been a great companion to my grannie, 90, also a widow. He has 4 kids and 16 grandchildren; my grannie has 9 children and 32 grandchildren. Both remain relatively healthy and take daily walks along the beach. They have a simple and good life.

Your Nikon D100 was doing fine job here with the details and colour of his face, so sharp and much details

Hey Danilo,
This is a cool one, he sure doesnt look 92. I would be more than happy to look that way (and have a gf as well!) when I reach that age.

Hello Danilo,
A fine portrait, my friend!
Many many years are chiselled into that face, creating the character...

He looks like a very kind man in this well-framed portrait. The detail and color is also excellent. I'm sure his many children & grandchildren will really appreciate this portrait. It sounds like you're blessed with good genes. Thank you for sharing this happy event.

Hi Danilo. You're grandfather looks to be in wonderful health. The sharp focus and DOF are both perfect. You also got a nice natural bokeh in the background. tfs Danilo.

Hello Danilo! I'm glad they have each other as companions! I remember when my grandma passed away, my grandpa was so lonely for a long time, it was really hard to live without a partner. Looks like he's in a good mood here, and looks like he's still very strong for his age. Priceless shot! rgds.

Excellent portrait with well chosen DOF so along with the tight crop there is no distraction from the background. Your grandmother is lucky to have such a companion in her old age.
