Good work on the capture of his facial and head hair. Since the lower part of his beard was not included in the composition, I would crop it differently and also exclude a bit of the knot on his head. FWIW.

Excellent capture Kallol. I kind of like the space to the right of this man's head for some reason. Does the symbol on  his face have special meaning, I am quite intriguied.

No chance GJ! With cutting it we would separate the man from his natural environment and spoil the composition!

 

Best regards Kallol!

Many many thanks to all for your time & feedback.I truely appreciate your time.

Gail: Yes,this symbol denotes that he is a BAISHNAB Sadhu & beleives in peace,love & humanity.They make this mark with sandalwood paste after a very early morning bath(before sunrise),than they spend all the day in praying & worshiping the almighty.They are pure vegeterian,don't even touch any non veg item(even they wash their cloths with soda as they beleive that animal fat is used in washing bar),live simplest possible life with no demand.They donot beleive in any caste or community.Hindus take their blessings as equivalent to God's blessing.

My best regards to all.
