This mesmerizing smile was molded when I asked this old man about the distinct features of the place.
I was visiting a tourist place in Maharashtra, India and this old man was explaining each and every particular of the place to the visitors. Because of his hearing problem most of the visitors were not approaching him and he was upset about it. But when I approached him, he was quite happy and this was the reaction.
I used Canon 400D and Canon 50 mm 1.8 Lens.
I have used Lightroom to increase the saturation on the face and using Graduated Filter tool I have reduced the exposure and highlight of the background.
I am curious if you retouched the skin tone and white balance? Looks little off to me. Nonetheless, love the expression.. :)
No. I have not retouched the skin tone. Only thing I have done on the face is ...i have increased the saturation.
The orangish hue to facial skin looks little unnatural and odd to me, whereas more natural brownish black tone would have added native flavor to the image, IMO.
