Ah, this is OUTstanding! Probably doomed, but a thumbs-up from me.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I love the colour and the grain in this image and the close crop is pretty effective. I actually quite like the reflection on the forehead too.

Critical stuff: I'm not sure how well this all hangs together as a concept - the mask, hat and shirt don't really seem to gel and the elastic / string on the mask really needs cloning away.

Overall: Although I appreciated seeing such a conceptual image and I think the technicals are well matched - I think an image such as this lives or dies on the details and one or two of those let the image down.

The position of the finger and the processing you chose both contribute to the tension created here.
