Took this using my wife's canon rebel XT using a macro flash from behind and to the left of the subject. Minimal editing for brightness/contrast/sat and USM.

The detail is great and the lighting has clearly out line the wrinkle skin. Great job. I'd have preferred a square composition though, crop off a little on the right. 9
Aren't we all - GRIN! The idea is good, subject is good and perspective and crop are good. The lighting has let you down severly which is a shame. You've lost the tones - wish it had been different, I really like it otherwise.
