Gurusami, a guest is God.

Madurai

Indeed this is Gurusami of Sellur, a tricycle-man, married, two children, only two as lately that's the maximum that every Tamil family tries to maintain.
At the moment I took the shot he couldn't go to work as his foot was hurt by an accident. So his income was low and his family ....
he invited me for dinner ... and ...

... but in fact I know I give you only his smile and in his glistering eyes my reflection taking the shot.

I didn't do any postprocessing (see the death pixel I got on the sensor) only a crop asking myself how tight I can go on a portrait ?

So that's all I give: his smile ... enjoy !

The tight composition works very well here. A friendly face indeed.
