Photographer's Note
Riding the back of a small truck and distributing small Ganesh kits, I mean a small bag with a coconut and few other things, I spotted this guy in front of the march. His truck was just after the water tank truck in charge of purifiying the streets before the Ganesh chariot arrival.
What was great was that guy was in full light, absorbed in his task with a striking dignity.
To start my own critic, I feel the portrait does focus more on the task rather than on the attitude which leads to the conclusion : what is that task ? Any hint of what it could be ? Unfortunately no. I probably should have used a wider angle for that purpose. I'll try to think about it next time.
Any other obvious flaw from you side ? :)
Original framing, USM and contrast masking technic applied.

Elle a peut-être son secret..un vendeur de fruit? Elle mérite quand même une note positive car sa composition, toute en diagonale apporte un plus au sujet.
Peut-être aurait-il été judicieux de cadrer plus serré pour ne garder que la partie supérieure de l'image..
