Hello Luis,
There is a nice open feeling to these pictures, well done. Instead of what 
we see sometimes with circus pictures, the photographer is almost on top of 
the performers and they never really look happy. :-)

In these it's like pictures of people you know, as you say..."your friends." 
And the pictures show a friendship between them and you not usually seen in 
these kind of photographs. Yes a nice souvenir! :-)

Well done a keepers for many years to come.:-)
