Very nice portraiture. The colors add something special to this frame filling study of the classic clown. I would love to see the children interacting with this character. #13704

Greetings Lem!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my smiling face. I appreciate your effort immensely. Yes, the children certainly found him amusing...and capturing their expressions would have made a wonderful pic also. It really is difficult taking photographs of children today...parents just don't seem comfortable with it...assuming that a photographer could be exploiting their child. When I point that camera at their child, they ask why....if I ask permission, many say "no". It's a rare thing when a parent allows me the privilege of photographing the innocence of their child.

Many thanks again for your kindness. Have a wonderful holiday. #26361
