Squinting cyclops like......... angry eye still contained but spilling out from the punched and ripped paper mask......effective emotional and graphic rendering.
The contrast between the seriousness of the person's face and the light-heartedness of the picture is delightful. The lighting on the ripped areas is a bit too strong for me. It makes the shreds seem to glow against their shadows and it takes some attention away from the main subject, the face. Still a great pic.
Fun. That fractional over-exposure (even for the technique) on the paper leaves some annoying artefacts around the tears, and that light is not particularly effective on the face behind either. Something softer perhaps? Although i appreciate that that would remve the striking starkness, and thus some of the angry quality, of those paper shadows. 7
Good idea, I like the lighting/expouse on the paper. I think the off-center composition would be more effective if behind the hole the person were actually centered in the frame - so the white space on the left would be hiding something instead of just sort of sitting there. Hard to say what I mean, hope I made sense.
Anyway, I said that this has to be one of the most creative entries, it's very well lit, I love the expression on the model's face, and I've added it to my favorites. Congratulations :)
