Laid over a piece of glass, fitted a virus mask over the corners of the glass with a plastic cup cake mold underneath to act like a nose. Laying a soft box backwards placed the setup onto the diffuser cloth, with a second soft box set above the give a downward light as well as the light from beneath.

Fun idea! surely you must have tons of spam that you could list behind -- if not, I'll lend you some of mine :D
Nicely done!

Finally, a computer screen, because that is where most spam goes... It is cute, I love it. Like a docter, I also like how in the corner it says virus, that just makes it even better.

Cute. Don't think I've ever seen a decoration on a face mask like this, and almost not enough context to make the shot understandable.

To be honest, this one is hard to comment on. the lighting is alright, comp is good, and I get the idea, i find it a little boring. 6.

Lighting is a bit flat. Although a bib is appropriate these days. :)
