This is my grandfather! This will be my gift to my mom for her birthday this Friday! Unfortunately, my grandpa passed away on her birthday several years ago, so every day on May 18th we light a candle for him next to her cake. She misses him a lot, so I thought this would be a nice gift! Maybe i should have waited till I was better, but I'm improving! Anyways, enough sad storied, here's a cool one! My grandpa taught me how to shoot when I was around 7, he had me shoot cans off a tall wall where he lived! It was fine cus he was a police officer and all! He was awesome, he used to give me cookies! Haha, sometimes I think he was the only reason I liked visiting my grandma!

Also, this picture is awful, it looks much much better in person!

EDIT: I've made some changes, mostly darkening some stuff and adding a little texture! Not too noticeable! I'm nervous!

This is a wonderful portrait, and a beautiful tribute/gift; I'm sure your mother adores it! I really like the combination of soft/sharp you've achieved here, giving him a very "angelic" appearance...a lovely touch! Beautiful handling of the light, as well--very nice work!

Thank you very much for the kind words! I had the same fear, but I decided to give it a shot anyways! I mean, if you mess up, you can always do it again! And you're better for it the second time around!
