[Leica] My entry in Dr Ted's ASSIGNMENT= THE COLOUR RED!

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

For me this was quite difficult - with my penchant for shooting colour, I
am always on the lookout for the colour red as a composition/counterpoint
aid, so I have tons of photographs where the colour plays a central role.
Finally, I plumped for a portrait, only because it is unusual and
comparatively rare!
