A fortune teller ... Photo

Photographer’s Note

That was one of the first temple we visited.
We were about to leave the site when we saw him in front of the temple door. Our guide told us that this old man lives in the surrounding village and only survives from his activity: fortune teller.

We tried, not because we wanted to know our future, we just wanted to be with him and to share a nice moment. He played music for us. That was a incredible nice moment. He's so beautiful, his look was so charmful.

Thanks for your comments.
Al.

Bonjour Al
C'est un très très beau portrait. L'expression est sympa. Le noir et Blanc est bien vu. J'aime le cadrage. C'est très net.
Vraiment bien vu

Nice portrait,white is a little over exposed and overpowering under this hand , but hey it's still good.

There is something in this picture. I don't know if it's composition but I can't really focus on a single thing. I was wondering if it would be better for him to look into the lens but no... This picture is somehow exceptional. Good work Alain!
