I hear that critic very often recently. Maybe I should stop my framing obsession and start presenting my images more simple. I remember that I was sitting on a bench inside the train station and started shooting pictures of people with my EF 300mm f/4. When I pointed the lens into his direction he noticed me. I had no choice, but to approach him personally to ask his permission. He agreed and I took 2 images. I gave him a bit money, too. Later at home I reviewed all the shots and beside the Hindu priest I had some more "keepers". That was Mumbai, now I am in Guangzhou, China.

Great light... wonderful expression... fabulous color (I could do without the frame, though)... nicely cropped... wonderful, Rudi. ~Lydia

Oh, 1994 was a mistake. I have been posted in Mumbai from 2002 - 2006.

Nice portrait Rudi. I'm confused by the two different dates; i.e., 1994 and 2006 - Kelly
