Faces of Pushkar India #3, C&C Most Welcome

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

Recently, I have started processing the project which i took last year "Faces of Pushkar, India". He is a camel herder and he was not looking in a good mood.

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, frame, crops.

Thank You

PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended)

I think that this is a marvelous portrait. I like the lighting, the expression and the composition.

I think that slightly reducing the shadows in his beard area and brightening his eyes just a tiny bit might be a way to go but, the portrait is very nice as it stands.



You are going to have a wonderful photo essay of these faces. Keep them coming!

Another beautifully shot image, Raj.

I'm with Richard on this one. It needs a bit of work to even out some of the shadows and highlights, especially the eyes. I might sharpen it a touch too, as the beard and lines on his face are an important part of this image. Mostly I would do a lot of burning on the left hand side of his face and might dodge down some of the "hot spots".

Nicely done, does look more vibrant in Lightbox.
