Caleb,
Outstanding portrait of the men. Colors striking. An example of the broad color clothing spectrum in the world. I like the dialogue and the silence.

A fine group portrait, interesting and also surprising because of the different expressions and colours. Three characters! Well composed too.

Hello Caleb,
This is an excellent capture of three very colourful characters.
I'm wondering if the man on the left is praying for his friend to talk talking.
Excellent lighting and amazing details. Very well seen.
Best regards,

Caleb,
Great shot, wonderful moment, they reminded me of my father. chatting with his friend, I love this shot, they all have differen hat, different outfits and color, Old friend having conversation or even arguing and making fun of each other, like the 3 stooges :) Tibetan version.
Way.

Hello Caleb,

I always liked the way you are able to take pictures of people without disturbing them, and taking their spontaneous expressions. It is clear here that they did not realize you were taking a picture of them. I am not very good in this. In my recent trip to Iran I probably missed many good shots, because I do not like to click in front of other people's face.
I am always worried of being offensive when I take pictures of other people.
I tried to use the wide angle lens as long as I could, which allows to get into the scene in a more discrete way than the tele, in my opinion. Or I just asked to take pictures, in some cases. Do you use any special trick ?
Regards Stefano

What a cast of characters - this looks like something from a play (even the lighting). Great colour combinations, with the three figures nicely spaced. This is my favourite of your recent postings, although I like the others as well.
Cheers!
