Candid shot of a traditionally attired Rajasthani elder on Mumbai Streets.
He stood out as the odd one, amidst all the other city dwellers in his traditional attire. Smart & natty in his bright red turban (pagdi), almost making a statement - "proud of his traditions & culture'. His weathered face also a testament of tough life which probably make them so proud.
This is shot using a 200mm lens. I do not shoot portraits with zoom lens anymore. This is from archives.

What a find! you have done a good job in capturing his lineaments.
Brilliant portrait, mate. That red turban is an attention seeker and I love the clarity!
Great shot.
Absolutely epic! Loved how the turban has a life on its own..vibrant!!!
@red handed - thanks. And it is color red too :-) :-)
Awesome pick Mayank...he really stands out!
Very bright and colorful! The red pagdi would almost stand out in any crowd. Beautiful, especially the weathered and wrinkled face tells a lot on his life:)
I thought you changed your place from Mumbai to Rajasthan. But after reading the description, I found it to be otherwise.
Brilliantly captured, love the colors in it!
This is certainly a beautiful capture.
Thank you @andrew
