Fantastic portrait, my favorite color, “India Blue” :) And this kind of family history, of wealthy landlords, “exquisite cuisines,” mansions, temples, and culture everywhere, how I love it….
Voted for your pic, absolutely….
like the colors
indeed master of house! well captured and it is such a typical south indian background…
Nice ambiente where this guy lives.
The blue colour speaks a lot and his posture just apt.
an apt title and the strong blue columns in the background, tend to complement the authority that must be held by the gentleman.
Nice portrait. Truly environmental. The light is great. Nicely done.
Look forward for a b/w portrait, dan style.
Well conceived portrait–the inclusion of his surroundings gives us insight into his life and you’ve captured a commanding pose. Really well done Joshi!
good one !
Hey,
You work is so real …. so alive that stating it as “work” or a “photo” seems almost rude !!!!
Bravooo !!
Excellent shot and a perfect caption
I’m voting for ALL your posts:)
