Looking at most of the pictures, it seems that Veekay the Clown is the only professional circus clown in the bunch.

You are so right. Besides being a Zoot Suit Clown, Veekay is also a rodeo clown.
This year he was part of the cattle drive at the OC Fair.

I tend to agree with your comment.

P.S. Veekay is a member of the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation.

I see you touched it up to make this clown look evil.

The clown's name is Veekay. Besides being an actor and a member of the "Wolf People" family, Veekay spends a lot of time visiting hospitals, convalescent homes, homes for the disabled, and support the Ronald McDonald House Charities, and The Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Evil indeed - wouldn't want my kids around him. Lol Good lighting and capture of the expression.

Funny how clowns can look that way. Maybe it's just due to decades of cheap horror films. I'm afraid this one just looks like a good snapshot.

Creepy! I like how it appears that he's just walking down the street glaring at people.

Overall, I like this. The only change I might have made was to crop the bottom a bit more to remove the "Vee Kay" button. I keep being drawn away from the face and to the button.

Yeah he's just nasty and I wouldn't want him at my childs party - GRIN!

Cool look, harsh light, wish I could explain that better. If I could my own stuff would probably be better.

Great eye contact

Cool shot, I like that you were able to capture a clown out in the world. Looks like you might have nicer weather where you are. Good focus on the subject.

yea, you wouldnt want to run into that in an alley! great blurred background.

A different angle with less background clutter would have helped here...maybe a closer crop, considering it is candid.
01/09/2008 02:15:32 PM
Clear, well focussed and great colours. Should do well.
