(No terrorist can escape my mustache!!!) India’s independence day this time was celebrated amidst the highest security ever. While Hi Tech security gear is coming into the force – the traditional deterrent always has been the mustachios of the police … that send a shiver down the spine of even the most hardened criminals !!!!

Love it! The line of red with the flags and the man in the background just make the picture.

Aha .. there comes the DOF .. good one .. Did he happily pose for you ? :)

Superb portrait and nice composition! The DoF has ensured out of focus, but colourful background. The guy represent a vanishing tribe even within the Indian Police fraternity!

ani ... DOF is something that i have been working on!!! i guess thats the point of having an SLR and the D70s is a difficult baby to master (specially if she is your frist SLR!!!!)
koshyk .... i agree with you, dont see many of them these days.... though some of them even get a mustache allowance!!! (so that they can oil and maintain them!!!!)
