Exceptional portrait. I like the point of focus and also the body position with the forearm directly behind, further emphasizing his hand. I sense a relaxed determination.

I like the image and was going to comment on the focus until I read your text of why the focus had moved. Excellent portrait, IMO a wonderfull tribute.

Is it natural light? One of things I hope to attempt in the future.

Beautifully executed photograph. The lighting and, especially, the blacks and whites playing off each other really add to the fading eyesight theme. I hope you print and frame this as it deserves a prominent piece of real estate on you wall. This is what I enjoy about photography!

Fading face but a very sharp hand. Further explanations apt to viewers insight. A twin purpose "depth of field" photograph.

echo the above. Nice idea with the blurry face and sharp hand indicating the way he came to see the world. One for the "memories" album

Strikingly original, and the simplicity is powerful.

One to be very proud of! The focus on the hand is a good choise here.
