Description

We were driving though the tea plantations in Sri Lanka and came across a tiny little temple in the middle of nowhere and this gentleman was just sitting there. Being me, I told the driver to stop the car, jumped out and asked if he minded me taking his photo. He kindly obliged and even though he was very pleasant, did not feel the need to smile. This came later when I gave him some rupees for his trouble!! Thank you all so much for your kind comments on my last upload and have a great Wednesday. Hugs Eileen xx

Just the perfect postwork for this great portrait... When reading your story, I realize that I should ask more often to people in the streets... No doubt anymore : you are the Queen of portraits, Eileen !

One of the reasons I don't take pictures of people is because if you have to ask if you can then you get that force, fake smile. You've captured a wonderful true moment. Perfect in B&W.

Any of your pics is like when my father was telling me the stories of his travel, so fascinating and full of interesting people.

What an interesting-looking man! And you would expect a smile, considering the event, wouldn't you? o.O; Well it captures the mood better this way I think. Wonderful photograph as always, Eileen.
