You achieved a kind of monumental quality in this point of view, Stone. I hope your uncle likes it.

Great art Stone! Your choice of POV is spectacular, it sure gives your uncle great presence and surreal all the while: the-open-1/3-top-head-room + smoke = allegory-to-a-thought-bubble

Terrific portrait. You did an awesome job capturing the smoke of his pipe.

That's a really great start and doesn't look like beginner's luck. You might find open tray processing in a dark room less messy than in a tank.

A true gem, both subject and the rendering.
