Yes ... it is definitely most important how you take a picture ... corrections should always be minor matter.
Well ... I only saw my parents using film/dia etc ... I am also more the digital generation but I am glad that I was able to learn a lot about it during my art-studies some years ago.
Old photo-techniques are interesting ... a lot of artists nowadays rediscover them and use them again for fascinating projects.

Hey Alex ... no need to apologize ! :-)
It was well-meant of you and that counts ! ^^

Thank you Tom. See my dad took the picture for me and he's not been well lately - lots of injuries because he pushes himself too hard at work. Plus to be honest with you all, I'm not sure if he knows exactly how to use a camera. I had his old camera and it broke so I bought him the one that took this picture and... well... his eyesight isn't very good either. I'm scared he may have alzheimer's. Anyway, thank you all!! :-)

Alex;

If you didn't take the picture, you have nothing to be sorry about.

Maybe you can show the original picture to your dad and then explain to him what I was saying about how to prevent that effect in the future. You can use a measuring tape or a ruler to determine the minimum close focusing distance by trial and error. Some cameras and nearly all lenses have it marked on them somewhere, often with the icon of a tulip or other flower.

Okay I'll do that. Thank you.

I just got Kitty and Puppy Brite today in the mail. I'll set up my collection soon and take a picture of them all again including the new stuff. :-)
