I think that you have captured Elias Goldensky (1867-1943) very well in this picture and tribute. Congrats on the picture I wish you had score higher to show how well you did.

the use of sepia to portray this lovely old soul is highly effective. There seems to be so many stories behind those eyes of which I know has seen and experienced a lot in life. Might I suggest that the slight graiation in the border be taken out? It's slightly distracting in my honest opinion. Great job!
