This is a portrait of my father-in-law when I saw him last in India. He was in his early 90s. I have found and you will I believe agree that when a picture is taken with some feeling or emotion somwhow that degree of your intensity is conveyed to the viewer. Many masters of the image making suggest what I have said above.
Almost evey picture of mine that others have appreciated and responded with positive feedback was taken by me with some intense feel for the subject.
Datta,
This one has staying power.
You know, the kind of pic you can contemplate for a long time and then come back later and do the same.
Wonderful shot.
