This is an exceptional photo Laurie. I feel the person's shadow adds the perfect touch. Very nicely done.

From the Critique Club

A very powerful photograph and I believe the focus to be great on the mask and soft on the remaining photograph to work well. It makes the point your trying to make effective. The shot is relatively clean, however I do see some noise due to the 800 ISO but not anything in my opinion to take away from the photograph and I do believe it adds mood to the shot. Your exposure along with lighting and color is great. A good technically presented shot.

The balance seems to be off just a little to me. I think it would have been slightly better if the mask would have hid the ear on the left and the green seems to brighten up an otherwise dark mood picture. The arrangements of elements are good and visually effective to portray your mood within your work. I like the simplicity of the photograph. No extra elements to distract from the point your trying to make except as stated above the green shirt I feel is slightly to bright.

This photograph grabbed and held my attention during the voting period. I can’t say it had the ‘wow’ factor but it did have the emotional factor. For all that suffers from this illness could relate to your photograph without having to see a title, that to me is effective. Your shot is also creative, stepping out side the box in this challenge and doing a good job in doing so.

I hope you find this critique helpful and keep up the good work.
