Needless to say that these portraits of your friend and mentor have always surpassed the ordinary and achieved pure excellence in everything from composition, to lighting, clarity and detail Rakesh. This one is no exception. I would hope someday to achieve a fraction of your talent and expertise. Today, I study the master and again have learned something about the perfection of lighting. I love how the lighting is reflected from the back/ side and illuminates that part of his face. I would never have thought of doing that.As I stated..excellence!!!
