Photographer's Note
It's on the fly snapshot of a 'chai' wallah taken in Pushkar that caught my attention even though I was meters away. Did not get quite the eye contact I like to get, but I was intrigued by his jovial character
where everything in sight seems to point Rajasthan towards that colour, beard, mustache and turban.
It is the faces which define some of the cultural understanding that keeps me fascinated about
this place.
Setting: 300 mm, 1/250 sec, F5.6, ISO Raw 200, 0848 hrs

Hello Abmdsudi,
I like the contact you have with the face, it appears that you are recording him as he is enjoying watching something else, which makes the photograph more candid.
The dark b/g gives more attention to the face, where the expression is lively and the turban offers vibrancy.
The sharpest focus is right on the eyes, where there is quite a twinkle.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Abmdsudi
Street portraits don't always require eye contact to be good and this one is another good one.
cheers

Hello Abmdsudi, Interesting portrait of this guy in an orange turban. I like the dark background and the intensive look.
Pushkar gives a lot of opportunities for photographers. I wonder if there was water in the lake. When I was there it was dry.
