This is my other half ... she was not happy about modeling for me for some reason, not sure why!! Managed to get a couple of shots before she had had enough! The ferns in front are a little distracting but as she would not put the mask back on I had to go with this :)

The Mask is a monster from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and I bought it a few years ago for a Halloween party

Oh well, second lowest score ever!

Pretty scary. I like how the viewing point and setup support the notion of hiding.

Good idea to take this outside. Perhaps trying later in the day when it's darker and more ominous might have helped the feeling of danger. I guess I am just not sensing danger in broad daylight? Good use of DOF, though. On the right track, for sure!

the blue and the green work well together. I wish some of the leaves weren't occluding the mask so much.

Good shot, but too saturated on the blue to look plausible. Move the apostrophe from "its" to "don't".

The electric blue against the green of the foliage is stunning but this photo could have been so much more! Little details like gluing the mask down so that we could see the monsters eyes and tucking the nape of the mask inside the costume so that it looks like a real monster as opposed to someone wearing an old mask would have put this photo over.

I think that if you had experimented with the crop of this image, using the rule of thirds, it would of stood out more than it is.

Try again.

I like the contrast but the mask doesn't really fit here

I just sense that this was a lot of fun to shoot. It's not a ribboner but I bet you had fun and really that's what matters.
