i think this your entry is suffering a little from the restrictive limitations of picture size - i think this would look fantatsic blown up poster size. i love the out of focus elements, it really adds a depth of mystery and the overall feel is tastefully abstract. the fact that i couldn't tell what it was lust adds to it; afterall, what good is a mask at a masquerade without the mystery? it fits the challenge very well, and is creative and certainly a brave entry. best of luck to you - 9.

Excellent DOF. Tack sharp focus on the leaf. The detail on the edges - those little hairs - amazing! Love the green tones too.
