Nice portrait, Bill ... a little work on the tonalities and balance and you'll have a real winner here. This one can really shine with something more than a "quickie greyscale conversion." One of the nicest and most engaging pics you've put up in a long time. A great strength of the photo is that it clearly shows the strength of your relationships.
