Professional, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

on an saturday afternoon in busy market place in kolkata i was searching for some good snap..after a long search when i was about to give up suddenly i saw this clown sitting on top of a wooden packing box thinking something deeply..seems like he was depressed and sad...and before i caught him on my cam he saw me and started giving his usual smile for what he mainly paid for i.e. entertaining people through his strange funny movements and funny smile...from this snap..one can't predict that how he was just few seconds before this snap...poor guy...even though he is sitting just on top of a dirty packing box...as u can see its a pretty dirty place over there..still he is smiling ....professional at its best....
i framed the snap in my way....I would really love to know how u guys feel about it...

Hi Arijit, I like this portratit of a clown with his smiling face into your lens. The colors are really good and the setting and all seems to be all disconcerted, a clown somewhere where he does not belong to. This could be one of the photos of the year! Congratulations! Welcome to Trekearth, Rgds, Alex

Hello Arijit,

Merci pour nous,
Merci pour lui.
----------------------------------

Regardez le clown triste...
voyez le tomber
et encore une fois riez..
regardez le clown triste...

Regardez le verser les larmes
que vous n'avez pas.

Regardez moi planter cette lame
que vous ne voyez pas.

Riez du clown blanc encore et toujours.
Mais sachez que chacun à son tour
il faut tomber et sombrer
pour faire croire à un semblant d'égalité.

Regardez le clown pleurer en silence
pendant que vous continuez votre danse.

Regardez moi me noyer encore,
et laissez moi à mon triste sort...

Hello Arijit!
We distinguish.
The photo (image) does not seem high quality: fade sharpness, too many objects, the face is not fully in focus.
The subject, however, is extraordinary: I like a lot, even if it's a little sad.
Overall, the result is good.
D.
