~ I'm shy ~, a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

A street capture of a rather timid looking elderly sitting alone outside a tea shop in Nagarkot & he was probably in sublime peace when I approached him for a snapshot. It's not always easy to capture until he overcomes his shyness and then the moment is gone.

The first glimpses are usually the best.
Nothing hides those wrinkles, signs of a life well lived.

Setting: 200 mm, 1/5000 sec, F4, ISO Raw 200, 1444 hrs

Hi Abmdsudi, from the resulting photo it looks like you engaged well with him and were rewarded with a great photo with a warm expression. Composition works well, with him looking into the frame. Technically all good too. Cheers, steve

Hello Abmdsudi,
A superb portrait and the bright sunlight illuminated the man's face so well. The darker background makes him stand out so well, too. Excellent sharpness and clarity.

Hi Abmdsudi
What a beautiful portrait from the place so close to my heart. His shy smile is priceless. Dark background enhances the photo and brings out his features and the colourful scarf.
Greetings from Manila where I'm awaiting my flight back to the UK.

Hello Abmdsudi!

A superb head and shoulders portrait of the old man with good sharpness and shallow dof. Excellent lighting and tonal range with natural looking colour. Tfs!

Hello Abmdsudi.
As always the portraits your favorite subject and that you dominate very well, I magnify the face of this man who shows every detail of his face, wrinkles, the beard ...
A magnificent color, which gives the image a lot of chromatic richness.
Excellent clear and sharp capture!
Well done. I like.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.
