I love this, clear, good lighting, love the selective desaturation and clever idea of a mask.

lol - my kids wanted to do this and I said no. They love the photo and are wrapping themselves in painters' tape as we speak!

I'm sensing either a subtle message I'm just not getting, or a last-minute "I don't have a real mask" shoehorn shot. I'll give the benefit of the doubt here because the technicals are done well and the idea to show the winding of the tape instead of just a static "here's my tape job" was good.

The good news is that the blue tape came off so easily. I like the tones- teh composition is ok, the whole thing may be a bit too grainy. good luck.

Hilarious. This was my idea for the challenge, but I never got around to it. (That had to hurt, by the way.) An eight for you.

I'm really liking the selective desat on this one. I might have put some color in the eyes though. still gets a 9

I like the selective desaturation. This was a good way of making something out of nothing. Who needs a mask, you've got tape!

Quirky and silly. Cute play on words and I hope your scream wasn't too bad when you "Unmasked" yourself. ;-) Good luck!
