"Hi Oliver,
The images I've saw are one of the more impressive and beautiful I've  
never seen from the India, you made a very personal and close approach  
to the persons. This is really a document from a great Country that it  
is changed and changing very fast.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much, Lluis; as you know from your own experience, some
people do not like to be photographed from a close distance. On my first day
in Delhi I decided to find out whether I could get close enough to
individuals to fill the frame with my 50mm lens. I was pleasantly surprised
that my subjects did not seem to be offended. Perhaps my grey beard
helped...

"Oliver,
These are very involving images.  I wouldn't worry too much about color 
casts since these can easily be corrected in Photoshop, or Photokit 
Color which has an RSA balancer.  The latter works about half the time.  
For the b&w conversions, you might want to consider Alien Skin Exposure 
2.  I know that anything you can do in Exposure 2 can be done in PS, but 
I like to instantly switch to the different "film stocks".  Same with 
color.  Sometimes I like Agfa color, sometimes even Velvia - heresy I 
know but fun to work with.  It doesn't take much to amuse a snowed-in 
photographer.  Whatever, you captured the scene which is the main thing.

Ken, thank you for viewing and commenting; and I appreciate your thoughtful
suggestions for correcting and/or modifying images.
