The Chief

A village chief sitting and posing with confidence. The string bed seen

here is typically seen in rural India and supposed to be better than

foam/springs as far as back is concerned.

great portrait, Doc... lord of all he surveys

Thanks Rajat!

i like this portrait, full of little details to see and that draws at best the personality of the man that you show without any cut and in the middle of the photo, giving him the importance of a "chief". by the way, wich kind of authority he got ?religious. political, both?

Thanks Andrea for those nice words. Village chief is a political appointment and has considerable local power,

nice capture

 

I specifically like the write up that you posted with the image.. making it a nice photo-journalistic piece

 

the platform/bed provides very interesting texture

 

thanks for sharing this exotic image!

Thanks Frederick for your appreciation!
