[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This mime was performing at the Rosebank flea market, I espeacially liked him with his doll like features, unfortunately the eyes are not as sharp as I would have liked though.
There is an african craft market everyday of the week at Rosebank and on Sundays also a normal flea market. Plenty of restaurants and shops make Rosebank a nice place to spend a day.
I could not decide which version I liked better of this character so I have included another version in workshop.

Hi Wanda,

Good shot with the feel of B/W lining in the b/g and a strong colour look from the character. A real face that expresses so much..
This version has a lovely gesture..and the WS image in a different angle shows another mood of his face. I would prefer this one.
More than the technical qualities, the subject has the fragrances...
Excellent.
All the best, dear friend.

Hi Wanda,

what an attractive capture. It's an eye catcher even looking at the thumbnail....and a lot unusual. Both images are really good. I like to see his expression and the doll-like features. Very good work!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Wanda,
wow, its a human. At first I was sure it's a dummy!
Its a nice close-up, but I definitely prefer the one in the WS! because of the nice dof, and the composition with lovely lines in the background.
African craft market, that must be adorable. Are the items carved wooden masks and suchlike stuff? I adore them, I bet the prices are quite nice as well?
regards

Hi Wanda
Amazing this pink mime, very well captured and framed.
I like sso much your POB and details. I prefer this one compared with another in the WS.
TFS and have a nice week

Hi Wanda!

LOL! This guy is one of the most original street performers I have seen, with minimalist costume but most creative impact.

It might be quite surprising to meet him face to face, almost disturbing... I could make nightmares thinking about this enigmatic face, but it's probably only me, watching too much movies... :-P)

To some extents, it's really evoking your Kathakali dancers...

Cheers!

André

Almost unbelievable.... Both this one nd the workshop are excellent. Truely eye ctching, who could believe at first this is a real man. Then detail after detail there is no doubt! Great catch!
