Hi Juan ... Nope, it's not your style, and it clearly shows. It's not a bad pic, but there's something "off" about it. The moment wasn't quite caught, there's a bit too much tension in the faces and postures of the subjects, not relaxed enough, not quite natural or capturing the "who" of the subjects. You got the what - you just might not have worked with them enuf. hard to pinpoint it exactly, but the sense I get is that neither you nor the subjects were completely comfortable with the shooting experience.
I think this is a scene that's more to my style of shooting, more direct, more interpersonal. Also, I think the pic is just too small to be fully examined on a monitor screen. Something larger, like 700 or 800 pixels wide, might give a little more punch to the image. And for clowns and people in silly attire, it comes across as a bit too dark. It's as though the tonality is at odds with the subject.
