This is terrific, Charles, Is this still India or Pakistan? The subject is set off by the lighter and less contrasted background.

Douglas, this is India, in the Himalayas. The views are exceptional. The mountain people are fascinating, having retained most of their traditions, although I have seen some satellite dishes adjacent to their homes, suggesting that the old ways are fast eroding.

Great photo Charles, wonder how the colored version looked like. Mountain people in India are some of the nicest and coolest folks.
Sreedhar.
Thanks, Sreedhar. I find them very friendly to strangers. I also took pictures of them and then brought them prints, which they appreciated very much.

Excellent portrait, Charles!
Great expression, razor sharp focus, and perfect DOF -- very well done!
Oh, and the B&W treatment is the 'cherry on top'.

Thanks a bunch, Greg. It's hard to take a bad shot when the environment is so rich with opportunities!
