Wow! His eyes are so tired. This is a wonderful capture.

Great looking portrait.. Good job!

Galina Stepanova		18-May-2005 11:29
Great one!

Guest		18-May-2005 06:51
Fantastic as usual. This man's tired eyes are completely incongruous to the clown nose and clothing. It's as if he was attacked by a gang of roving clowns. Ten minutes ago he was a businessman with a briefcase...

Guest		17-May-2005 22:40
Excellent portrait ¡Ivoted :-)

"The Tears of a Clown". Was his nose attachment red from 'Red Nose Day' here in the UK?

Donna Pownall		17-May-2005 20:51
Wow you really have a gift, this is a very well capture, what a story this image has to tell. Bravo!

Susanne		17-May-2005 20:45
WOW, what an amazing shot.This is by far one of your best where you captured an expression just perfectly. Voting as well.

When you see a clown at first, you want to smile. But then you see this man's eyes and realize there is more going on there. Voted.

Excellent portrait Antoni-voted Iannis

Guest		16-May-2005 21:42
Excellent details. I guess the sticker on the instrument gives one possible cause for sadness.

Di		16-May-2005 21:15
By the looks of his instrument, he's been playing for many years. Great shot!

jude		16-May-2005 21:08

Nice captured and very interesting road singer. You allways have such good ideas? Voted.

Guest		16-May-2005 20:04
Wonderful B&W!

JeremyGood		16-May-2005 19:56
He looks to be quite an old clown as well from his hands and face. Great contrast and detail.

Robin Reid		16-May-2005 19:44
Well captured.

northstar37		16-May-2005 19:44
sad eyes clash with the funny nose

Guest		16-May-2005 19:35
Like Autumn Sky, I am constantly amazed at the interesting people that surround you. There must never be a dull day. Wonderful composition. Vera

Leo Charette		16-May-2005 19:23
OMG, where to you find such characters? Superb shot voted, of course.

Dan Chusid		16-May-2005 19:15
Glad you didn't color his nose in red . That's a sure-fire way to blow it!

Guest		16-May-2005 19:12
Fantastic!..such an expression..

Chris Sofopoulos		16-May-2005 18:45
Excellent candid. He does everything to attract the attention of people!! Exceptional as alwayw Antonis.

Lee Rudd		16-May-2005 18:44
I knew Bob Dylan was getting old, but didnt realise how far he'd gone! I love the expression

Vinh Luu		16-May-2005 18:31
i agree, incredible irony. the expression in his eyes are sad.. something you don't normally expect from a clown, such that when you see it, it is especially striking.

JW		16-May-2005 18:30
OMG! Hasn't Slash aged!! LOL

Guest		16-May-2005 18:28
This is a sad clown. Great ironic photo.
