Hi Patrick,
Perfect blur of the background here to avoid distractions from this man and his beautiful metal water pot. The orange turban is a real stand out point.
Regards
Wanda

Hi Patrick!
Another great Pushkar photo! Perfect orange on his turban, and perfect skin tones. The water container really balances things off nicely to make a very pleasing photo! The f/2.8 seems to work great here. I must make it to the camel fair one day. Great work! Cheers,
Steve

Patrick: not to engage in mutually reciprocal adulation, but this, of course, is a fine portrait. c

Ah, "les petits métiers", comme je les aime!

Magnificent shot, même que l'homme en arrière plan distraît la composition un petit peu.

Merci pour partager.

Hi Patrick,
the sharp lines of the turban are contrasting the colourful blur in the background in a wonderful way. There would be the possibility of a square format by cropping away the person at the left and showing only half of the water jug.
But that´s my only suggestion.
Compliments, Chris

Patrick,
I had a moment of calm to look through your most recent shots and I have the impression that you have a pretty good ee to capture people in a very good way. It boosts some nice opportunities and perfect technical elements. for example the low f/2.8 gives the perfect bouquet in the backgroudn avoiding any competition with the facial expression of the water seller. The person stands perfectly sharp agaisnt the blurred colorful back. Also the composition having the person off center shows your high art in composing.
Peter

Bonjour Patrick,
magnifique netteté sur ce turban orange qui flashe et qui attire immédiatement notre oeil. L'ouverture à 2.8 a permis un joli flou en arrière plan et la jarre d'eau nous confirme la fonction de cet homme au sein de la foire. Beau portrait.
Amicalement, Brigitte
