it's a sad sad world, a photo from Nicosia, Ouest

Photographer's Note

It's a sad, sad world
Without you in it
And I'm a bad, bad girl
For letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
Oh, it's a sad, sad world
Without you around...

Hello Korkut,
A strong photo, at the same time humorous and serious. A great composition with the person and the big mask perfectly placed.
Regards,
Paul

Ridi pagliaccio sul tuo amore infranto devamını ezbere bilmem ay ne üzülürdüm o aryada çocukken en sevdiğim operaydı palyaço...
yine tarzın harika bir kare , siyahlara bürünmüş üzüntülü gözüken modelin çok hoş bir kombinasyon olmuş bir de çanta olmasamıymış ...fotoğraflarına comment falan yazaymıyorum ama beğeniyle ve kıskançlıkla izliyorum Korkut.
Görüşmek üzere (ne zaman olur bilmem ama ) Kuzey'e selam :)

Hi Korkut,
The clown is like the ultimate dichotomy in life, scary and fun. This sad clown expresses so much, and yet the womans posture is indifferent, perhaps her mind is elsewhere. A beguiling and interesting composition.
Cheers

She looks unhappy indeed.
She hid eyes full of tears behind the black glasses, folded arms and was lost in reverie.
Fortunately she has found a perfect companion for her sadness:)
Don`t worry girl, there will be another! sooner or later :)
cheers
Jo.

There is a lot of study of the expressions of clowns, how they communicate with the observer in complex ways. in many places clown appearances and performances are banned as they cause psychological damage etc..

i like how you have juxtaposed one of them with a subject sharing a similar expression, or is she just waiting for the bus..

nice catch korkut..

Bonsoir Korkut
très belle image. Le n&b renforce le côté triste du clown. Belle ambiance.

Hi Korkut!
A very good one! Well seen and framed! I like both versions, but this one matches perfectly with the title, I think!

Korkut
Excellente photo à la très bonne composition. Le noir et blanc crée une atmosphère particulière plus "triste" que la version couleur qui me plait beaucoup également.
Amicalement

The clown´s smile is broken and it seems that all secrets are betrayed.

Ciao Korkut,
bellissima immagine seria e nello stesso tempo unoristica, uno splendido bianco e nero perfetto .

Hello Korkut. The urban world has many surprises - if you have an eye for it. The coexistence of different things makes the real attraction. Sometimes the most fascinating contrasts. Your photo is a good example. A good shot in b&w. Compliment. Regards, Wolfgang.

hello Korkut,

j'adore cette photo, ce regard de clown triste, et celui de la femme dubitative devant lui. Très beau coup d'oeil.
Bonne soirée
Marie
