relaxed smoking, a photo from Gujarat, West

Photographer's Note

While I was walking in the village of Mathanomad, I saw a chaikhana with colourful walls. Some men were having a chay and one was quietly smoking. I approached him smiling and got his silent consent to take him a photo.

Ciao Luca
A nice close up portrait accompanied by colorful BG
I like his "silent" gaze, not really friendly nor aggressive
excellent quality of course
good night, best regards

Hello Luca,

A lovely portrait of this man showing no emotions. I like the way the smoke is coming out of his mouth. The colors of the turban and the background are very nice. A high quality image.

Hi Luca

James Bond is back, but the figures on the wall are not in the right order! Good portrait of this man appreciating his smoking, well focused.

Hello Luca - The bright sparkle and remote gaze draw one into the man's world. A simple, well balanced and unusual crop. Fascinating portrait. Best regards rosemary
