Larven are back ! Photo

Photographer’s Note

A shot today to reminder you that the carnival season is approaching, with big european events taking place in the Rhine valley from Köln to Basel.

Some minor scales events are already coming up where the cliques can get their final training on the street before participating in the large scale ones, tomorrow will be such one im my village, with participating cliques from Germany and Switzerland, since I won't be able to attend it, here's a portrait from last year, these big masks are called "Larven", hence the title of this photo.

Salut Jean Yves

Good dof & fg sharpness, on the colourful, masked, parade attendee. Excellent lighting, contrast & graphism. I like the tight framing. Merci!

Ha,ha, a very funny one, Jean Yves. This guy really makes one laugh. Excellent close portrait with fantastic colors. I'm not sure if the real person inside, is getting as much fun, though. Nice to see her eyes and partial face.
Enjoy the weekend,
Ricardo

Bonjour Jean Yves,
le gaillard a l'air redoutable. Les formes, couleurs et expressions font de ces masques de vraies oeuvres d'art, trop éphèmères. C'est une belle photo aux tons chauds, celle qu'il fallait faire.
Cordialement
Joël

Salut Jean-Yves,
this looks very similar to the known (for me) carnival of Basel (not personal) which is more "Fastnacht" than carnival. Not the same as we have here, the traditions have changed I think.
Very colorful capture of the "Larven", which is an excellent grotesque version. May be I have seen that one before?
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Is it that time of the year already? These colourful masks are a nice reminder and a good diversion from the winter weather. Thanks for sharing!

Salut JY,
Voilà un potrait au visage très expressif mais un peu figée, parfait pour de la photo, c'est bien pris, bonne map et rendu des couleurs.

Hi Jean-Yves,

Today I came back on my childhood and posted a shot of the playground. I like the clown mask, the mad facial expression in there. Nice colors.
Good job!
Have a nice week
Leonor
