Forget the peacock, man - there's THE QUEEN!!! Yep, nothing to do here but sit back and admire...
Nicely done Catchlight.

P.S. My guess is that it's not a balloon but a feather in his cap - no?

First of all...I'm laughing hysterically at The Dark Dude's comments. Second of all...what a portrait!! What is the story behind this? Wow.

The Balloon Man does look like he made some animal shape at some kid's party and then stuck it on his head--probably why he is so jovial. :)

At least this chap with the hat had the decency to disguise his excitement with a sheath
