A very nice portrait Aurdrey, very well focused and well composed. I hope both you and your Dad are happy with it.

I love this photograph Audrey. What a lovely man he looks. I do like it and it is one to treasure forever. Dad's are wonderful and you must love him so much to show him off so nicely. Thank You for sharing him with us and please say hi and shake a hand from me and tell him he has a lovely daughter, but he already knows that.

Dave.

That's a very nice portrait Audrey. I like the lighting and the pose. He looks as if he's watching the sunset or something similar. Your Dad's face is interesting. Like he's seen a lot of life and become the wiser man for it. Great image...
