Good shooting, Keith. Goes beyond informal portraiture. This is street.

Love the colour palette. A fine composition.

I agree.
Keith's photos always have remarkably excellent colour palettes, and most often some very appealing yellows.

The people in the doorway make the photo. You must have reacted quickly!

Just to complicate things, I was kneeling in a cow and water buffalo shit slurry within a narrow alleyway with a constant stream of people and motorbikes passing by. There was also a little beggar girl trying to attract my attention by tugging at my arm: really, a wonder I got anything.

Sounds like a great exercise in learning how to avoid distraction.

My wife would have you believe it was a great exercise in how to get run over.
