From the city of Madurai, well known for its temples, I came across a group of three devotees. There was something captivating about the man in the middle, so I homed in on him and took his picture, before taking a group shot of the three. The background may be a little bit distracting but there was little I could do about that and I still like the shot. Let me know what you think.

Hi Mick,
I just looked at this again and read your text and NO, the background isn’t distracting! My first thought on seeing this portrait was National Geographic cover. I think the turquoise background actually enhances the whole image and contrasts nicely with the pinks and corals.
This really is a gorgeous portrait.

That is unreal praise, but the man has to take so much credit, he simply stood out from the crowd. Thanks also for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. MM 📷

The background is immaterial when you can’t take your eyes off his eyes, face, lips, hair… Sorry – I guess I made my point???

Point well made and underlines why I took the picture of him before taking a group shot of the three men. MM

A good shot, MM.
I don’t think the background blue distracting, but it wouldn’t want to be any brighter or sharper in focus.
Sometimes, you just can’t do anything about the background – you’ve just got to take the shot and be grateful the subject fills most of the frame.

I agree with you, it’s probably the perfectionist in me that has too loud a voice! MM 📷

Thanks for the comment – that is exactly what drew me to him, his face just had to be captured somehow. MM
