About 20 min after the clown pulling the truck I found this trio. I shoot them during the previous three days in a clown's convention in different costumes. Here they were ready to compete in the "street performer" category contest. As in the pulling truck case, they have no feet. I realise that the panoramic don't allow me to be close and don't behead the people without "cutting" their feet.
Their feet aren't "cut", they connect with the frame. By not showing us their feet, the trio appears like towering giants that have taken over the plaza, a feel exaggerated by the "little people" at the side, the buildings around, the open space and the dramatic sky. Plus their costumes and masks make it feel like a snapshot from a fairy tale, not of this world. Excellent!
Perfect composition...all the elements come together wonderfully. From the balloon-hat disappearing into the clouds to the clown on stilts in the background, there is nothing one would want to change. Beautiful!
I agree with arigram. Wonderful shot. the clowns do look like giants and it adds to the fantasy of the shot. My only complains are small.. the end of the guitar blends in with the background too much.. a bit of dodge/burning would easily help.
Your use of flash is perfect , the use of f45 is perfect, the position of the three is perfect , there are enough feet in the background to compensate for the lack of in the foreground
format is used to it's best , which is to tell a story
