I promised myself that I'll try to whip up something using the post processing software but life happened! I couldn't go a day without posting , so I looked and found this photo I took in 2000.
I went to a religious festival (Gangasagor mela) in India that year , where pilgrims from all over india converge on this little island village area where they believe that a holy dip on the ocean at a certain auspicious time will rid their sins.
I was not about to take a dip in the freezing water but more than willing to take pictures of people. Light was not good and people did not like flash going off on their faces either. After careful observation I asked this gentleman to pose for me, he was happy to do so but my flash ran out of battery. This is the look I got from him when I ultimately took his picture.
Cropped.

This is a great portrait and I am happy that you looked in the old shoe box and found this one
For me it is a biggie. I know that not experienced in PP and I like to make this one as beautiful as it can be. It is already very very good but just that 1% extra. See WS

Hi Pranab
Nice expression of the guy. Seems a little bit upset. There is a yellowish cast in this picture. His hair did seem white or gray as it should be. I did a workshop to improve the color. Hope you will appreciate.

Great face, but strange look! I went to the 12th, 12th kuma mela in allahabad, I think 6 or so years ago. I did not go since, they break cameras now at them!
