This is a candid moment between grandfather and grandson. Edited on a laptop so the contrast is not perfect.

Thanks everyone! I wasn't really expecting a ribbon!

Good to see you can make lovely shots without using all you PS chops. I like what you do in post processing, you have created a look that is pretty distinctive, and this is not it. It is sort of like a rock guitarist doing an acoustic set, nice in and of itself, and a nice display of range.

Nice idea, composition, emotive feel. Seems too gray, brighter with a white somewhere would probably be better, especially for "Life."
