Saw him in Ahmedabad, India during my recent travel and his mild and gentle smile instantly caught my attention. Pls share your comments and critiques if you like it

Thanks

I like it. I personally favor tighter crops to emphasize eyes, skin, but I think the cane adds to the composition. The brightness of the ring might be a distraction though. I wish I could see more of his eyes. But again, that comes back to my initial bias.

This is really a wonderful photo of what appears to be a genuinely down to earth gentleman. His facial expression is one that exudes kindness, trust and respect. I truly enjoy a portrait of a subject's face that is not hidden by shadows. Thanks for sharing.
