My kids, normally reluctant models when it comes to challenge photos were more than happy to get to smoosh microwaved marshmallows in their hands. If anyone wants to see outtakes where I tried self portraits by smashing the marshmallows into my face, they are posted in
this forum thread.

ehm? I have tried melting marshmallows in the microwave for weird artistic purposes, and that stuff is really nasty and hard to remove after it has cooled down (and it cools down pretty fast)
Had any troubles with removing it from the face? Good thing you didn't get that in your facial hair :)
Superb photograph! Technically well done, emotionally very appealing. I like the lighting, seeing only one eye. Fits the challenge. You should place high with this winner.
Neat! To me this almost looks like two phtos, the girls portrait, and someone elses hands with the sticky stuff on them in front... I hope you got a photo of the girl without the stick stuff in front... With this lighting it'd make a really nice 'moody' portrait. Capturing the eye looking through the threads of goop is great, and she is showing no emotion towards the sticky stuff.. There appears to be a bit of motion blur or out of focus on her left hand, but that's only minor, on the whole a great photo.. 8 for me.
Eeewww, yuck! What IS that crud? Love the way you showed it, with the one eye looking through, all the stringy parts pulled taut, and the bright contrasts with dark background, including the effect of having the head floating behind everything (no neck showing). The green/yellow/red colors at the top might have been less distracting if replaced by pure black, but, Hey! That's just me again. Great image. Good luck with the challenge.
Great representation of the challenge! I feel like I should wash my hands just from *looking* at this! One of my few 10s this time around. Awesome lighting!
Wonderful.
Nice tonal range, excellent color and use of subject. Makes the veiwer try and see beyond the sticky substance, to the person beyond.
Love the high lkey on the face.
Kudos
Great concept. I think the lighting is a little too dramatic and I would have liked to have seen the girls other eye. Still, It's a good photo and worth my 7
very creative I like this one. Excellent contrast. 10 I changed my mind from a 9 to a 10 I thought on the right hand the focus was perfect but I can live with that. I really like that subject face and contrast.
This is an incredible picture in so many ways! It's the best depiction of the challenge I've seen. It's done in a way that makes it look REALLY cool and interesting! The colors are striking, and so is the little girl ( what a brave little model she is), and it is crystal clear. What an undisputed 10!
Excellent image. Love the lighting on her face. I do find the highlights on the left hand wee bit harsh. But I think this image is superb. My top pick. 10
