An old shaving brush from when my dad was a young man
His picture (circa 1930) as a strapping young dude in pursuit of my mom is in the background

They were teens in a very difficult time

I love everything about this image. Your Dad was a looker !!

I think it looks great, actually. As to whether it is "too Green," I don't think so. Yes there is a visible green tint but it bothers me not at all. Why do you ask? The photo is really excellent. Personally, I would have liked to see the brush slightly to the right of the frame and MAYBE so it didn't entirely fit in the frame. But I wouldn't konw unless I saw it whether I would have liked it better that way.

Brilliant B&W shot.
I like how the focus is on the shaving brush.

Yes, and my Dad had a shaving brush rather like this too.
This is a really evocative image, Pete.
