Tio & Abuelo

Family portraits. Taken at a picnic in my house. Photos taken with a Sony Cybershot 5.1 megapixel, B&W mode. No tampering in PS.

First is my uncle (the master chef, prepares one of the best "fritada" (bbq pork, roasted, high grease content, damn delicious), roasted "cuy" (basically roasted wild hamsters), and "aji" (hot sauce) in my family.

Second is my grandpa (father of my uncle up here). The best grandpa anyone could want to have, full of experiences, stories and memories to share. A very wise man.

Nice portraits, I really like the first one. Would crop off the hand peeking in and part of the ear though.

Now that I think about, your cropping suggestions aren't that bad at all... let me see if I find the result satisfying enough to post.
