Challenge: 1970s (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Sparta, NJ
Date: Feb 18, 2005
Aperture: F/2.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: Feb 18, 2005

 Being born in 1971, there's nothing I remember more from the 70's than Vader. Rented the mask at a costume shop, too bad it was so beat up.

No clue how this will do at all. It meets the challenge but isn't particularly an attractive photo at all. Could be sitting on the brown ribbon with this one.

The force is with you!
Man, I'm so embarrassed I didn't think of this. I'm such a big Star Wars Fan, and the movie didn't even occur to me when I thought of this challenge. You did a good job, but I agree, the mask looks quite used. Congrats on your top 10 finish.

Did you have to dig deep in the bondage cupboard to find this?
Great image, Mr Vader was certainly a 70's icon.

Very Eerie. The backlighting to the left saves this from being too dark.

What did he bump his head on? I like the lighting and composition, but the dent and the missing stud on his mouth kind of cheapens the image.

Interesting lighting. Could have been slightly lighter to show more detail while still getting the same effect.
