Bonjour Frederic

Being a clown is serious work, as is explained in your note. But even without it...the eyes speak.

Fine observation portrait.

Hello Frederic,
very good and interesting capture of a fleeting gesture and expression. Excellent sharpness and light management. The most powerful and interesting element is the lady's expression, especially her eyes. Well done!
All the best,
Ourania

Salut Fred! I was thinking this might be someone from Theodora Foundation but in connection with Carnaval I was not sure. The big red nose, this is their trademark, isn't it. In 2010 I organized a meeting and the idea was to go away from pure business themes but open our sometimes limited views into other directions. We invited someone from Theodora. It was a wonderful event. In the end we all received a big red nose :))) This is a lovely shot and I like it especially because she is not smiling but has this surprised look. Fantastic! Best wishes + good night, Barbara.
