This sadu didn't offer me free portrait. Paid him 5 INR. This picture was taken in Triambak, Nashik, India.
Post processing
Increased Tint using Picasa
PS. Am I wrong? Is he a beggar? What does sadu mean?

@Anne: Hmm Sadhu means a saint & 5 INR is equivalent to 9 th part of US dollar. He plays the instrument in his hand & people offers him money. Kind of begging.
Prem , I should come to India and go out with you for a phoot outing to all the holy places.. want to consider that sometime?? perhaps maybe next years mini kumbha mela??
Looking at the sadhu, i would have given him a Stone Cold Steve Austin Piledriver after taking his photograph! LOL!

@Shiva: U r always welcome here. Mini Kumbha mela. Sounds interesting. I'm ready for it. A pile driver to this guy hmm good thought !!!
Nice portrait, gotta love the simple processing too. Imagine a free program doing a good job, makes me wonder why i bothered spending the money on CS2 hehehe

@Rene: Yup Picasa has so much to offer. There are other free tools equivalent to Photoshop & CS2. It is called GIMP.
