Default Grampa can pose!!! (ohh my 100th post YIPPYY :D)

A very good morning to everyone!!

Was chatting with my grampa a few days back and he got all nostalgic telling me stories of his childhood and teen days, how they used to have fun, the places in Old Mumbai (India) where they use to hang out and loads and loads of other stuff. It was really really amazing experience getting to know him and talk to him so casually.
As we were winding up the convo and preparing to have breakfast, i realized i wanted to capture this moment as a souvenir. So i told him that im gona click his pictures. He was reluctant at first but finally agreed and im glad he did. When i showed him the photos he was so excited and liked all of them lots.
Planning to print one and gift him so please please please suggest which one would be better.

Hope everyone likes them!
Cheers!!
Zoheb.

All are very nice, I like the 1st one a lot, but I think I'd print # 3 If I was giving him a gift.
Thanks for sharing these

As a gift, I like the first. From a photography perspective, I love the 2nd one.

Default Some more shots!!

Hey thank you so much everyone for the appreciation and suggestions!! I really really appreciate that!!

As a gift I think the 1st and the 3rd are the best out of the bunch. If grampa was smiling a bit in the 1st one it would have been much more better. Thats what i like about the 3rd photo

Im uploading two more pictures from that day. These are more like experimental pics and i dont think would be appropriate as a gift. Just wanted to share them!! hope you like them.

Thanks again everyone!!
Cheers!!
