Not bad for my first serious self portrait! I'm stoked, thanks DPC, for all the kindness and help, couldn't do this stuff without ya!
Thanks also to my friends, Debbie and Kiersten for doing the mask / facial foliage gluing, and thanks to my friend George for serving as a voice activated tripod.
We had a bunch of fun with this. Unfortunately, I did get some chemical burns on my face doing this, but they've healed fairly well so far. :)
Enjoy some outtakes:
Thanks for the wonderful comments and votes everyone!
As far as it being a mask, well.. I don't know, it sorta is I suppose, despite the fact it's just leaves stuck to my face. I've got to admit that I'm kinda torn about the ribbon myself, given that even I think it's arguably mask like... Of course, so is first place, so *shrug*.. Clearly image quality is more important than the finer points of the description.

Nice job on the ribbon...Be careful how far you go for a shot...I'm beginning to regret the 'dpc rox' tattoo I got in '08...I feel like such a newbie, but what's a "voice activated tripod" and can I pick up a George at B&H?
ha, this is awesome! first time I looked at the thumbnail I thought you were dressed in lettuce and celery.. gotta say, was slightly disappointed when I opened the full photo
Love the wordplay on injecting your name into the title, Cory:-) Lighting and the details are just fabulous! That single, piercing blue eye peers out of the camouflage and ensnare's the audience's attention. This Boehican obviously went hunting voters and succeeded;-)
Question: You mentioned that you got chemical burns. Did you use Spirit Gum? It's what we used in Theatre years ago to afix beards, fake noses, elf ears and the like.
Congrats. My challenge favorite, and I didn't consider it a mask (though technically I suppose it is one). Looking at your outtakes I'd say you chose the best of the lot for your entry. Well done.
Ha! I didn't quite realize this was you, Cory. So THIS is how you got the burns?? Well this has to go in the DPC history book in the Darwin chapter. ;-) Congrats - well done and a well deserved 10 from me.
Thank you Corey for your kind words on my shot, I really thought this would be 1st place...and OH MY I see we have matching chemical glue burns on our faces!! LOL We R Sick... Weird, or I duno, just dedicated?? Congraulations on a well done shot and OH THOSE or THAT Blue eye!! Your a Cutie!!
Lots of thought went into this one, not to mention all the work and time making up this green theme!
Not my favorite, but it definitely deserves a 9 for all the above mentioned...
I think there is a place for you in the next series of Lost. Besides that you've vegetated quite well and crispy as to make a really interesting shot. 8 points and a free jar of mayonnaise.
I am thinkin' this is Cory.. the BLUE eye what I can see of nose shape and mouth although it looks like you have lipstick on ... This is goooood and love how it works with the challenge!!! I've been having a Blast playing "wheres Waldo" with everyone ... Last night you said this was a high score and it deserves to be!
Last of the Boehicans
