as they call them. Colour matters, also in India. And the fairer you are, the better.

The man in the middle looks very dignified, and I love his tartan scarf, beautifully placed. Interesting shot, Ivar.

Thank you Rob. I all of a sudden detect a certain lightness of the image which I haven't seen before. Does it appear like that by you Rob?

The men look OK, but the rest of the image looks flat and strange.

Yes that's what I detected too. Sorry about that, don't really know why. Thanks Rob.

The tone does look odd, but what a great image, Ivar.

Thank you Brian. The scorching sun was lighting up the surroundings, but as I remember I managed to keep the guys out of the direct sun, and as the background had light colour, it turned out that way it seems from the original colour image. It was done in Patna in India.

A fine shot but the contrast does appear to have gone awry somehow. That central figure does indeed look very refined and dignified (despite the tartan! 
).
).

Thank you Pete. This photographer has a tendancy of going awry at certain times too. So nothing unusual then.
