While touring the Amber fort, I was struck by the simplicity of color in this scene. Using a bit of underexposure to increase the color saturation, I made two frames. I like this one, which was the first one, with both subjects looking off camera.

Using a shutter speed of a 20th of a second to blur the moving subject, I was able to hand hold this shot with my 70-200 mm f2.8

As you already know, I love to photograph people smoking. This gentleman was sitting near a tea shop on the main street in the old section of Jaipur city.
