Kind of glad it came out sharp…hand held at 1/15 sec on a sloping bank ;-))

Kal this is a sublime portrait.
I would certainly have raised my lens to this fabulous jovial character.
My favourite of your Tamil series so far.
Get it printed and post again!
My favourite too Kal – Brilliant.
Excellent Kal. Live is nice and easy in Tamil Nadu land.
Mate, made me smile, doesn’t stop getting better and better. Will be a cracking print
Thanks guys.
David LOL!!…I am looking for the time! I have 4-6 more B&W films to develop and I will be sending the colour stuff to the lab this weekend, then I will have time to get down and dirty in the darkroom ;-))
Best, K
Superb… BTW i just want to say that I really like the fact that you haven’t corrected the tilt in the image. It’s not that it adds to the image – but it underscores my image of you and your reputation for the purity of film.
This shot is awesome. Like a subcontinent Cheshire Cat.
Lawrence, your comment made me smile ;-) …both about the tilt and the cheshire cat ;-)K
this is maybe the best of the series! absolutely great!!! and extremely sharp for a small dof, if this counts! :)
It’s nice to see a series of photographs slowly revealed like this where each time you see a new one you think ‘that’s my favourite’, yet look forward to the next. They are all excellent.
He looks the absolute epitomy of relaxation. I don’t think this man rushes for anyone!
