Turban-day

[janok]

The Sikhs in Oslo is celebrating their anniversary. They offered other citizens to try a turban. A lot of native Norwegians tried a turban for a day. This is one of the helpful gentlemen that helped us out.

Although the brightly colored turban adds a a lot of "punch" to the image, I can't help but feel that the only presentation that really does this man justice is black and white. It really attenuates the texture in his beard and the wrinkled, weathered look on his face!

very nice, both in fact. however, i am really a black and white person so of course i favor that one

Well, I like the colored version much better. But I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with the results of the HDR processs on his face.

Is that a faux blur? It looks a little artificial under the beard....

Most of the blur is real - f2.8, but I blured out some of the jacket to draw attention to the face.
