Old man praying on the banks of the Ganga River

Took shots of a really interesting picture when I went to India. What do you guys think? Any suggestions for post processing?

Nice material, lots of potential. For future reference, consider using a longer lens and shooting from further away with a larger aperture to reduce the focus on the background. Also, try and avoid situations such as the cropped posterior in #1.

Thanks! Anything I can do post-processing to improve it?

You could create a background layer of everything "behind" (Further into the image) and apply a gaussian blur to it, but be careful not to over-do it, as it looks very "photo-shopped" very quickly.

Interesting shots and very nice. Fix crop on 1 if possible from both edges, clone out pole in 1 like mentioned, just a thought maybe crop 3 tight to subject and try b&w.

Should i just clone out the pole in all of the pictures?

I like the color you got on these
