 Simple shot. I used the mask from the mother challenge and put it up against a black backround. converted to greyscale, andusted the contast, lighting, and shadows to the entire image. Finally cropped square. I love masks!

would like if there was a lot more background, seems like the mask is way to close

Simple smooth details. I like the subtle shadows. Very nice exposure. No blow-outs!

minority of this picture is that its border is not well finished as the subject
touches the border at the top. although composition is mind blowing

Contrast is really good. However, compared to the other duotones I have seen so far, I cannot give this one more than a 6

To be honest, I'm not in love with this photo. There isn't anything technically wrong with it. Perhaps the highlights are a bit too bright but there doesn't seem to be any lost detail as a result. And that's part of the problem. The mask is just ordinary with little interesting details to look at. Maybe if it was painted or someone was wearing it and you saw their eyes this photo would do better. As is there isn't anything that grabs your attention. Hope this helps.

ohh i like this, kind of creepy, but kind of calm. my only suggestion would have been to have found a way to not let that string show at all.

This could have been done a bit better. The conversion is too flat for me.
