'The (kindly, nonthreatening) Apparition'

No one knows what possesses people such as this man to dress in

custumes, apply spray paint and/or color to their clothes, skin and maybe

hair, then perform in front of passersby, but they do. This man does so, or

did so, with a great deal of aplomb, and far from many sometimes surly

clowns and aggressive street buskers and aggressive 'cartoon-like

characters' that are really low-life and haunt Kyiv's main tourist street, this

man attracted and did not scare or make the kids feel threatened, and

fostered their trust with his kind actions and attitude. Your ratings, critiques,

and observations are invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly, very

critically or wish to make a remark, please submit a helpful and constructive

comment; please share your photographic knowledge to help improve my

photography. Thanks! Enjoy! john

Despite the obscuring garments and colors, look in the man's eyes, and see if you see what I have described in my request for critique . . . . I think understanding this image requires a good look at his eyes. . . . at least in my view.
