Photographer’s Note

While my invitation over tea with the Sadhus (Holy Men) in Bhindawas last weekend, this guy was smoking his pipe and I thought the expression would make an interesting post.
I pretended to have already taken his shot before I actually did, well thats the only way you get a natural expression.
I feel he is wondering how the shot must have turned out :P
Unaware that I have 5FPS ;) to support a storyline

Enjoy :D

I think he is thinking 'No you can't have a puff of my pipe'.
Lovely image with rich earthy tones, very nice.

Brilliant portrait from that old man, despite a strange face expression you catch the viewer's attention.
Technically perfect, what a sharpness !

Good job.

Hi Vishal,

He has a beautiful face. His face is sad, and trusting, and filled with many feelings I think. Each side of his face has a different look to it.
