Thank you to everyone who gave me all the great comments and high votes! I can't believe I ribboned, what a great feeling. I'm sorry I didn't explain my shot better, but I simply took some 'clown white' make up (appropriate) and put in in my hair and face, next I broke into my wifes makeup kit and drew some lines under my eyes and face the best I could without making the lines too obvious. A litte adjusting with the light and contrast, leveling and conversion to b & w.

Thanks again to everyone!!!!!!!

This reminds me of a photo named ' The Tempo in Music' by graphicfunk. I like the movement in this photo and its simplicity, i've come back to it several times, adding to my favorites. Great job. 8
