Hi Caleb,
Another beautiful photo from you. You have such a wonderful gallery! Great composition with nice lighting, earthy tones and texture in this image. The fellow looks to be lost in thought with his tea, just how a good cuppa should be!
Kind regards, Michele.

HI Colman,

You managed this light very well. Perfect exposure but there is a small white mark on left side of his nose..its not affecting anything.Turban wrinkles,skin wrinkles and serious eyes..looks good. Beautiful shot indeed.

Hello Caleb
the light is really beautiful, especially on the man sipping his tchai... He is very elegant in the way he is holding the saucer and seems to be very peaceful!
Thanks again for this excellent portrait!

Hello again

Beautiful Caleb!...just love it.
The light shining his face...what a good light could make...
of course,not only the light...you did a great great job.
The timing is great,framed him exactly at the moment he moves his head to sip his hot tea.
Absolutely wonderful!.

Kindest regards,
Lucian

How do you do it? I hope that someday I can learn to control the sunlight to shine exactly where I want it. I love the warm tones here. Great shot as usual.
