Clowns are Scary
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 9 August 2008 in People & Portrait.
The Edinburgh Festival has just started, and although I'm a bit p*ssed off to be in Scotland 4 months into a 2 month contract, I'm glad I'm up here for this! The atmosphere is great, and the street performances make for some great shots!
This guy was in the process of advertising his show, and although mpore of his face would probably have made for a better shot, I still really like this one! Other than cloning out some random dust-spots, this is as shot.
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Great picture. Agree more of the face would have been better.
Don't complain about being 4 months into a two month contract. I was due to start one 11th August in Dusseldorf and it folded on August 6th when ( I am told) Vodafone took the manager's entire budget away and gave it to someone else. As a result I am lookng for the next one quite hard
Back to Photography. Leith is quite photogenic, try being at Newhaven Quay around Sunset, another day visit the Hermitage of Braid. If that is not enough got to Cramond and walk up the river, or visit Corstorphine hill. And don't forget Arthur's Seat.
Any Questions on these places email me

@Aayawa: Thanks for the message and the comment Aayawa, I've been up around Leith but never at sunset, must give it a try!

Great shot, it has a creepy kind of feel to it.

It's a great capture. I like the way this one was composed.
