He might be old, but not that gleam in his eyes.
He's a Kumaoni whom I met in Ranikhet, Uttarakhand, India.

The bright colors contrast nicely to the gentleman's dark skin...looks like you were having quite a conversation with him :)...I'd frame this one...great work!

Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in some village in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India.Time
This was taken on Jun 21, 2014 at 10.23 am.Lighting
I wanted to keep it as natural as possible, so it was entirely natural light.Equipment
Nikon D5300 with 18-140 mm Nikkor lens.Inspiration
I was on a road trip with family. We were on our way to some place and I remember my father was driving. He spotted a group of old men sitting and having a chat and he loved that sight so much that he wanted me to capture their moments.Editing
Yes, I did some adjustments on Lightroom.In my camera bag
These days I am using a Sony Alpha a6000. I have the basic kit lens: 16-50 mm, a zoom lens: 55-200 mm & a prime lens: 50 mm. When not carrying my camera, I capture on my phone OnePlus 7T.Feedback
When trying a street portrait, keeping it natural and candid while having a conversation with your subject works the best.
