You have brought it upon yourselves with your friendly comments, here are five portraits:

1) A bearded man on the already wellknown bridge in Agra.
Elmarit 90mm ISO 320 @ f 4:





2) A young man selling souvenirs in the great 'dargah' of Fatehpur Sikri.
Same as above:





The next three are all with the wonderful Apo-Telyt 180mm, all @ f 3.4.
I spent a whole day at the marvellous Sufi-mausoleum at Fatehpur Sikri and took a lot of pictures, many with the above lense.

3) A man with a white turban. I checked white and grey point, the colours are what they are:





4) A veiled woman. Cropped, but that was already my intention, when I took the picture:





5) A chipmunk. They are really everywhere:

the bokehs, the colors, really amazing.
the first one, I must admit that I am not a big fan of 'caught' portraits,
the second one I like much more, and the third one is outstanding! well seen and composed, these colors of the red sandstone in the sun, nice how he seems to watch the 'bokeh lady' and amazing how well the texture of his 'khadi kurta' shirt can be seen
the position / action / inaction of the chipmonk is great! + great uniform background

come on Thomas, don't get tired to show us even more, they are so beautiful to see, yes we want!

All are great but #3 and #4 are my favs. They seem to tell a longer story than your caption... Cool

st one is amazing also because the guy (the chipmunk) isn't known to be exactly a patient steady poser Smile and you caught it in perfect focus!

The human portraits are executed impeccably, although for my personal liking, and my photo "philosophy", instead of blurring the background I would have used a deeper DOF and shown what is behind. Maybe with a wideangle lens? This way, the indian faces would have been shown into the indian context.
