Clown is one of this job where sadness is not acceptable: a clown must create laughter. But what is behind the facade?

The make-up (detail and color) are nice. I would like to see more of the subject, maybe not the whole face, but a bit more to get a better feel.

Thanks fot your comment Deke. I actually have a few different ones, and I felt this one was more graphic. I'll try to upload them somewhere else, so you can give me your opinion!

I really like the crop, I really think it emphasises the emotion. And gosh... the photo has real emotion - so very sad in a happy laughing face.

Great work.

To me, this feels a bit freaky!! No offense. Wicked witch/psycho are the movies. The eye is what does it for me.....Nice shot for all the other elements however.

My thoughts exactly. Very unique PoV.

Happy shooting,

lol. No offense taken... you are not the first one! Luckily, people who know me do not recognise me in this shot. Thanks for your comment, Steve!

First thought: are you laughing on the other side of your face? Liked this image the moment I saw it.

Like Flibbel...I see sad in a happy face...well done.
