My word, Manny,
what IS he smoking? Whatever it is you have caught it, and him, perfectly. I cannot believe the details I see in this shot. The veins in his eye, the wear in the fabric of his turban, the stains on his fingernails. Absolutely flawless. My greatest respect and warm wishes,
Shelly

Hi Manuel,

Very sharp and nice portrait of Man from India...

The eyes tells the rest ...

For all those who are not from India the man is smoking Beedi..

Some information about the Tobacco usage in India:

"Tobacco is extremely important and relevant in India as almost 30 million people depend on tobacco for their livelihood. Tobacco harvesting and curing, beedi rolling and tendu leaf trade provide employment and livelihood to the poorest of the poor. Tobacco is
grown on about 0.3% of arable land in India, mostly in rainfed areas where returns to farmers from other crops are much lower. India is the third largest producer of tobacco in the world.

Beedi smoking is the most prevalent form of tobacco use among smokers in India whereas cigarettes account for almost 90% of all tobacco use worldwide. In India, Beedis account for 54% and cigarettes, 19% only. The balance 27% is used by chewing tobacco
and Gutka."

Cheers

Hola Manuel!
nice portrait, intense and very well composed, with a good job with lights and colours. I like specialy how you have composed with the smoke and focusing on the cigaret, burned until the end.

Good job,

Hasta la vista,

Javier

Hello Manuel
A good choice of vertical format for this man smoking a beedie and it seems he is looking in two direction. Love the tight framing which gives more impact to the beautiful model with its green turban. Nice colors and textures too!
Cheers

Hello, Excellent composition,with tight cropping to emphasize his face. Really deep, rich colors. Excellent use of DOF, concentrating on the face and the background blurred. There was a time when the smoking was in fashion. You captured the human element in the addiction well.

Hello Manny,

A spectacular, incisive portrait of the man, with deeply furrowed leathery face and hands. A photograph that belongs in the National Geographic Magazine. I wish you a New Year, marked by health, happiness and prosperity.
