A moment of relaxation.........

By sawsengee  
A poor labourer's moment of relaxation........smoking beedi, a cheap alternative to cigars but just as harmful. The scene was captured on the streets of Jaipur Rajasthan where local brick layers were seen laying the pedestrian walkways along the roads.....dust & dirk can be seen coating his rugged wrinkled hands.
V1 is the mono version.
THANK YOU everyone for the UAs, votes & pleasant comments........very much appreciated. ee GrinGrinGrin

Excellent portrait work Sawsengee. I like the subtle colours of the lead image best.

The B&W is a lovely conversion but it's colour for me, I can see all the years of working in those hands.

Excellent portrait photography as always, Sawsengee, and after much toggling between the two, I'm going for colour also! 👍
