He is middle-aged. He is wearing the green apron , shirt, and blown tie and hearing on the phone. He is holding a "milk bottle" on his right hand. He is feeding milk to a baby on his thigh.(I don't sure this sentence. Maybe that's wrong).

Good exercise in descriptive writing.

The picture shows a middle-aged man wearing a grey shirt and a dark brown tie with an apron over, sitting on a chair talking on the phone. He is holding the handset with his left hand while feeding a baby sitting on his lap with his right hand with a milk bottle.

I would omit "At the same time" from Matthew's alternate version. It's a still photo so everything must be happening at the same time.

So my sentence is grammatical. Is it correct?. Why don't I see the red text(except "I don't ...)?
