I made the shape, pushing my face into the PinArt, then shot from the back, lighting it from below right. Shooting from behind gave more space between each pin and accentuated the illusion of what should be sticking out or pushed in.
Much detail was lost though due to the compression of my JPEG which resulted in 44% of the original in order to meet DPC requirements. Shame about the limit in my view.
You've pretty much epitomized what this challenge means to me with this photograph, which is absolutely gorgeous. If this isn't a ribbon winner, I'm the Queen of Kamloops.
My favorite of the challenge, and my only 10. A stunning piece of work, and as I said, there are so many ways that this photo implies lines.. it's almost criminal.
Fun idea! Now I want to try that. I like the choice of colors. It's similar enough to skin tones that it doesn't make me think "Why is that person oddly colored?" but it's also bright and unusual enough to emphasize that it's the pins we're looking at, not the actual face. The face is a little bit hard to see in the full size photograph. It was obvious in the thumbnail, since my eyes didn't have to wander so much to take it all in, but I'm not positive I'd have known what I was looking at had I not seen the thumbnail first. Of course, that just makes it even more "implied". :)
Though I have seen this exact photo done many many times, you are one of the few people who I felt nailed it. The lighting, perspective and focius is dead on. \
Good job.
