Old man

...softer light could give you a better result

I like the composition/framing, but,  as mentioned above, the light is a little hard. The shadows work nice enhancing the wrincles in the face, but I feel that I need to see his eyes if this should work 100%.  A reflecting surface on his left or a light fill-in flash might have helped in achieving this.

Older people are good to shoot portraits of as they have so much character in their face. I would encourage you to keep shooting them. The technical merits of this photograph have been dealt with above.

This aged man is a great source for a portrait photography, the textures of his face are amazing and a wonderful tool to add to the image which you did nicely capture, his expression is very formal one for his age and do talk a lot about the sort of life he had/having still.

The only thing which bothered me are the eyes where they came shaded and so well lit, other wise hey wold had a great and powerful impact to the quality of this work.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.
