 This is my Dad in his US Air Force uniform a long time ago; many years before I was even born. I took this, looking in the mirror, with the sepia setting on my simplistic digital camera.

I thought this was a nice idea. It's fun to see that you have your father's eyes. Great shot.

Congrats on your first entry! Had to revisit this shot to see how you did. Not bad for a first entry and a simplistic camera with in camera settings. Welcome to the club. Hope you come back for more!

Good emotion captured here. Family pride is shown well. It is good to honor your father. I like the sepia as it adds to the emotion of the shot and captures that vintage family photo feel. However the photo is lacking in tonal range appearing mostly to be middle grey. Great subject for this challenge!
