Very nicely executed! However I think I woulda picked another color than red for the right hand face. It's very hard to get good detail in certain shades of red to pop out. You got great depth in the blue face, but the red face looks flat...

You've obviously put in alot of effort into this shot. The makeup, expression and technical qualities of the faces is very strong. The composition doesn't work well, however, as the "masks" are too far apart with too much negative space. This shot would have worked much better if the framed were filled with the masks. 4

Masks created by using masking. a double entendre and a great outcome.
I like the idea and the result.

The color is great, love the black background, gives it a sense of sadness in there faces, like there trapped behind the paint,

looks like you had 2 very understanding models. Is red wearing contacts, because thats a vibrant green. Very nice.

very ingenious and a different take on the real "masks" :)

hummm...Like the faces, colors are bright and the shot is well lit. I get the illusion but the jury is still out on it for me....

First Impression: Wow those eyes are green! I think the bottom right mask could have carried the image by itself.
Was I fooled? Nice deep black background, Yes!

Nicely done...great use of color. My only complaint...the edges just seems to be a little rough in some places. 8

Only thing I might change is putting the faces closer together and arrange like they are hanging on the wall. Also exagerate the expressions more (comedy / tragedy). Nice idea and pretty well done though.

my first vote is a 10!!!!
good luck who ever you are
