An offer of Tibetan snuff, demurely declined, in a watering-hole near the inter-city bus terminal on the edge of the old quarter.... Lhasa, a city with people you cannot forget.

Hello Caleb,

A scene of everyday life very well collected. A photo full of tenderness. The expression of the two peoples are very well collected. Composition well balanced.
Regards of Belgium,

Hi Caleb,

Two side-by-side postings celebrating old age! :-)
Nice. Like the general feel here. The old man, who offers, the woman who respects the old age and kindly refuses the offer. Very nice human interaction. Love it!

Greetings and have a good weekend,
Dennis

Hello Caleb,
Very beautiful portrait of these two people who aren't acting for the pic.
Regards, Paul

Hello Caleb

Wonderful portrait Caleb!
Very colorful and perfectly focused.
I like the Woman's almost shy attitude.
Beautiful work

C: From the thumbnail i knew that i saw the woman before....and yes, in Feb you posted the picture which i made a comment on. That face of her is eyestriking, very special. Of course the old man beside her makes it also nice, but it's the woman i am after ;-)
Regards, Henk

Outstanding shot, great portraits and colours!

Hi Caleb. What amazing colours and clarity. I love their expressions and poses. Great shot. Chris

how far is these couple from what could be associated with the contemporary china - a rush, tiger-economy, smog, modernity etc.
these couple represents what i have in mind as the ordinary chinese people... as they are in a lion share of billion...
best, j.

Hi Caleb,
A seemingly intimate moment between two people. I love the expressions and those purple colors are amazing. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Hi Caleb,

Lovelly! They're both beautiful in diferent ways. Natural in their chating. The bg colors and their clothes' colors also makes it special. I love her hair and clothes his hat and her discrete smile.

Regards,

Flavia
