I am thrilled that this shot did as well as it did. As a newbie, this is my first "serious" shot and I was fortunate to have an interesting subject on hand. Thanks to everyone for their comments and scores. The talent and creativity on DPC never ceases to amaze me and I am learning so much from all of you, as well as being continually inspired.

This is one of those mask that could feature as part of a movie! Very characterful and stylised. A nice study too.

Wish the spot was cleaned off the happy face...and I may have swapped this around so happy was towards us, but that's ok. Excellent lighting, great shot. 9

he? A two way mask? Never seen anything like that before. Good lighting by the way. I just don't really like the seam showing at the back there and a couple of white dots on the image. But you can't really do anything about it without spot editing right. Otherwise a good submission!

This is a beautiful abstract. I love the shapes and texture here as well as the contrast. This photo is also a great example of where some minor spot editing capabilities would allow you to 'finish' the work for use in a challenge :) I know how difficult and frustrating this can be... still gets a 10 from me... great work :)
