1) A tuba-player of a marching-band in Bharatpur.
Elmarit 90mm @f 4 ISO 800





2) One for cow-lovers like me: an ox-cart in Delhi. Actually they are mostly pulled by cows, but I think there is no 'cow-cart' in English.
Summicron 50mm @ f 2.8 ISO 320






3) A rice-shop on the Main Bazaar in Delhi at 20:41 p.m.
Summicron 50mm @ f 2 ISO 1250

What a beautiful smile in the first one !
The cow. Wise and quiet animal.

Beautiful shots, Thomas.
thanks. Smile

Interesting colours. Is this down to the lens or PP?

I like the 1st one in particular. The cow is good too, but nothing like the ones we get here.

I don't do much to colours in PP, sometimes I even have to de-saturate them a little. Sometimes, when there is too much contrast between highlights and shadows, I use the appropriate corrections in PS a little. That might change the colours.

Martin, since you asked about the colours of the first picture, I did the following:
I opened the original RAW-picture in Capture NX2, adjusted the grey-point and opened it in Photoshop CS 4. Then I converted it into jpeg, high quality, without doing anything else.

This is it, the 'original':




Next one is with Orio's Microcontrast #2:






Now with Orio's Microcontrast #3:






The last one without any sharpening, with Photoshop 'Soft light' 40%:

Yes, dear Mario, you missed Orio's 'Zeissification'- actions, which he offered to this very community free of charge some time ago. Try the search, and I guess you'll find it in no time.

I just looked for it myself. Here it is:
