It is never too late to learn. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Subject seems very relaxed. Are you sure he hasn't been reading too much of the wine book in the upper right shelve? Very busy but nice photo for family type album. Thanks.
...but what do you want to be when you grow up? ;-) I'm only a dozen years away from that age. When we stop learning, we stop living. Nice detail here, a little humor, ...and I'm wondering about the significance of the only readable title on the shelf: "Wine"?? Good job
This looks like a snapshot of a man wearing a wig and holding a book...I don't really understand the message of this photo and don't find myself enjoying it a whole lot...
Angus Young? Disturbing. LOL!
It's a funny set-up but it looks a bit snapshot-y to me. The flash lighting is flat and dull and the red-eye and glare on the glasses gives the photo an amateurish quality. To avoid glare on eyeglasses (or windows, etc), particularly when using a flash, try shooting at a slight angle.
Nice humor. The hat/wig is just enough to force that second look...a little jarring, though. I'll quibble with the prominance of the word Wine in the upper righthand corner--obviously his continued studies include some interesting topics--but I'd cut that book out or turn the rest of the shelves into similar "advanced" studies. Flash is a little harsh. Composition appropriate. Good luck with voters.
