A good entry into the competition posted here! Your full and central composition allows us an enjoyable look at your interesting man. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck.

a wonderful portrait and a great entry to the red contest, a potential winner; I am almost sure that I have a pic of this Rajput man ;when he was much younger: will check my old slides; do you remember the name of the restaurant?

    Unfortunately I am not able to recall the name. It was on the mainstreet. Quite busy. Cosy interiors. Serving only vegetarian food. Excellent service! Thanks so much for the positive feedback, great review and fantastic rating. I appreciate your support my friend!

A beautiful subject and a great shot. The twinkle in his eye and that great flowing mustache are fantastic, but that bright red turban takes the cake. Best of luck in the contest.

Cheeky ' Stache Alert Level 10 !! Well you've certainly captured this gentleman's character with this photo Mystery Artist. Has he registered that 'stache as a danger weapon ? If somebody bumped in to that they could kill themselves. lol

Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Visually appealing in flaming red!
Exotic design.
Ethnic concept.
Tribal presentation.

Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...

Gorgeous illumination.

Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

Fantastic mustache and turban. but what is interesting is the European jacket, Indianified! That is one big turban. My best friend for years was a Ugandan Sikh living in London who very often visited India, and then bought a whole village on top of a mountain in Rumania, with a view to bringing wood from India, making them into doors in Rumania and then sending them to London- instead he had several very young ladies there and the business did not take off though he visited India and his family often/for some unknown reason my best friends in London were two Sikhs! no not sexual, REAL friends, I found them to be very honourable people, but I had many more friends in London who invited a lone older lady teacher to all sorts of places, as opposed to here/ and he always wore a turban, but he told me that as it was for religious reasons, /he only gave money to the temple and went to prayer when he lost a lot on gambling or his business was down/ it had to be folded in a specific way and it had to have 13 folds. His turban always looked very smart and suited his head excellently. He was very particular and had several colours of turbans. Just love this guy, he is a real find.

    Very interesting narration. Turbans are worn is many different ways in India. Sikhs wear it differently. This guy is a Rajput, again a warrior class. I thank you for your time and nice review. I do appreciate your positive feedback.

Very nice portrait that captures much of the character in this man. Focus is a little soft, but the details are still there. The "stash" is too much. but fully in character. Great sparkle in his eyes. Good color. well seen.
