Photographer's Note
Grabbed this shot on the fly from a rather dark alleyway in Jodhpur. Did not get quite the eye contact I like to get but I was intrigued by his huge turban of a rather dashing character. He wasn't look as comfortable though, unsure whether he was aware of being photographed by a stranger..

I like the candid nature of your shot...the dynamic framing of the turban gives a sense of movement through the frame or if he was still a sense of pre-occupation beyond it. A nicely rendered situational portrait!

BOnjour Abmdsudi,
Quel beau portrait. Il va chercher toute l'essence de cet homme qui a beaucoup de vιcu dans son visage. Une belle intιrioritι et un beau choix de profondeur de champs.

Hello Abmdsudi,
I think you are being unkind with yourself about the eye-contact!
This is a very fine portrait shot and the man appears to be looking straight out of the frame's corner; a great, natural line!
Your shallow dof works perfectly, giving sharpness to the man's features, against a fine bokeh.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

I don't think you could taken a much better shot than this if you had time to set up, this is awesome capture! I like where he is looking, it looks like he is deep in thought, very mysterious looking gentleman. Love the lighting and it has sharp details. Very well done, tfs.

Hello Abmdsudi,
I don't mind the lack of direct eye-contact, which would anyway be hard to achieve in a quick situation like this. Maybe he is aware of you and slightly uncomfortable, maybe he is just lost in thoughts. In any case the light and sharpness are perfect and the background almost as perfect.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Abmdsudi,
Even without eye contact, the man's face is clearly visible and in front view. So it doesn't really matter.
The white clothes, turban and the white beard go well with the bronzed skin.
Fantastic perfect sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

Beautiful portrait of an older man, wrinkles on the face, wrinkles on the turban, wrinkles on clothes, all this forms a beautiful whole image

Hello Abmdsudi,
A great portrait with good focus on the serious face standing out so well against the blurred BG, giving more impact to the main subject. The sharpness is excellent with good detail on the skin, every whisker is clearly visible, and you have captured a great expression on the subject's face. Perfectly composed and beautifully presented.
Have a nice day.

Hiya Abmdsudi
Another gem from you, typically your style to get some stunning portraits in sitution, the dark and blurred background enhancing the skin and the clothes. I particularly like the eyebrows and the fly on his nose
Hats off

Hi Abmdsudi,
I know I sound like a broken record but your portraits are an inspiration to me. I only commented on another picture earlier how uncomfortable I am with taking shots of strangers so your gallery is a source of endless fascination to me. You may not have gotten the eye contact you wanted but this is still an incdible sharp and vivid image of a really interresting character. Beautifull done.
Cheers
Noel

Hi Abmdsudi!
He's fantastic and your photo also. I like everything here, from the turban to the eyebrows and you captured him perfectly. He looks lost in his thoughts. Well managed light and perfect dof!
