[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
first, i dedicate this portrait to Lopa and Rew.
just two hours back while returning from my college via Delhi Road, i saw this farmer alone in his field. i got down from my bike and had quite a chat with him. he is troubled that offers are pouring (read - pressure) to buy his lands for setting up a factory.
once it was lush green on either side of Delhi Road. that is soon vanishing.

Indrajit,

Very nice portrait. The direct eye contact makes this portrait a winner IMO. Colours are good as is the composition.
All in all a great shot!

Best regards,

OWO

Hello Indrajit,
You achieved a great portrait here! The off-centered position, the very close point of view, the vivid but natural colours and the dark background give this farmer a strong aura of respectability. In spite of the problems he is dealing with...
Congratulations & TFS,
Erik

Good solid portrait here Indrajit, good diffuse light and natural colours. The sharpness and resolution are much better in this one, and the background is excellent.
Well done
Rew

Hi, Indrajit!

A newer fantastic portrait from the farmer. The colours, the composition, the model, the black background, the frame - all distinguished!

WOW!! Indrajit,
Excellent portrait!! Wonderful light and sharpness! Beautiful skin tone.
Should have been more careful while creating the black BG! There are few marks on the edges. Every thing eles is excellent, specially the bright coloured cap stands out!!

This is a nice portrait Indrajit, with a photogenic subject and good colors. I dislike that you removed the background, which is a technique that doesn't appeal to me. I like the expression you captured and the eye contact, but find that at this slow shutter speed your hand shake contributed to some loss of sharpness. Excellent, uniform light.

great pose and colors specially against the black background. well done.
