Villiger in Pushkar 3

The elaborate red turban frames and draws my attention to this villager's almost sorrowful expression and makes me wonder about the life experiences that have brought him to that place.  Very nice!

Hi Hussain,

You have met some very interesting people in your travels.  This is very nice--large view is essential to take in the details on this man's face. I also like the shallow DOF--the subject is isolated from a very busy bg.  Well done.................Jim

These people and very humble and very cooperative. Always ready to give a pose. We need to be a little careful with the ladies but they too sometimes agree, however it is always better to ask them first.This man too was a very simple and humble man.

Wonderful portrait, Hussain. The man's expression is very natural and you caught it well. In my opinion the red turban's color intensity takes attention away from the face. Maybe I'm wrong on this. But I would try to desaturate that color a bit and see how you like it. There is some beautiful lighting on his face. I wonder how this would look in B&W with mostly the head and shoulders in the frame.

Another delightful portrait! Love his lined, weathered face, the coils of the turban, and his clothing.
Congrats on the WP!
Sandy
