 1952 movie based on the dramatic lives of trapeze artists, a clown, and an elephant trainer against a background of circus spectacle. My image has nothing to do with this but the title works perfectly. And what a show it is!

Great title (have you used it before?). I love how the action is squeezed into a keyhole shape in the (off)center of the photograph. All the bikes make this "greatest show" more like a clotted dead end, but I do love me some irony.

I'm hanging this in my fantasy art gallery

Love how the darkness "frames" the people in the streets, it's an amazing shot. The color conversion also works very well here.

I love the sensation of peeping through a keyhole - just wish it were cropped a bit tighter
