At the crossroads
Posted by Ravi (Bangalore, India) on 13 May 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Wedding is really a crossroads. My friend, on his wedding, is in a thought mode at this crossroads.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Your valuable comments will be earnestly appreciated.

nice shot, thank you for sharing :)
I think an increase in contrast and a little saturation would make this an even more interesting image: )

Hopefully your friend did not go through a second "thoughts mode." :-)
He's dressed in very warm colors. Love the detail in the turban, too.

a handsome portrait, excellent details on the costume & headgear.....the lighting is a little strong, lowering the EV (exposure variation) could render the light more pleasing to the skin tone & enhancing the detail on the costume.

kavita from Paramaribo, Suriname
woww....hmmm do they call the groom also Dulha in India. In Suriname the groom's wear is something else. But nowadays, since there are some great indian stores and the unfluences of bollywood, people also wear a...sherwani(excuse me, is that the name)!
Lovely portrait. Did the groom used a bit of blush....I think I've noticed it.

@kavita: Yeah, they call them Dulha. Sherwani is the name :)
I guess he used some blush ;) thats his day :)
Thanks a lot for your comments. Please keep visiting, Kavita.
