Great shot, I knew I'd see it on the front page. Well done and congrats on the ribbon!
ETA: love the detailed shoot notes...yep the amount of work that goes into a shot like this is often something only other photogs can really appreciate.
This is an amazing work - well done. I love the off centered composition as well as the pose, the light and the implementation of the anagram (no harm that you misspelled one word)
Congrats!
Thanks, I spent quite some time to get the pose as I wanted, since it needed the express the desperation, it needed to show the mask, and I wanted the arms to pick up the light and show this balanced N shape, even though the body is almost perpendicular to the camera. I had to open up the left arm to show the mask, I had to push the right shoulder forward, elbows resting on a chair set at an angle, and then I had to put the hands flat on the head (2 seconds after pushing the remote ;-) ). A more natural "desperation" pose produced a much more messy picture that I did not like, with arms on the head, second arm hardly visible and mask hardly visible. It would not get the link with COVID across.
