I like this a lot. It took me a moment to see what I was looking at though. Great lighting to help bring out definition in the mask itself. The only thing I find distracting is the relatively bright reflection inside the mask.

interesting idea, and almost perfect in its execution. The only slight negative are the light reflections on the right hind side of the larger mask. But only a slight negative.
this was really dark on my monitor, still pretty dark on my husbands, had to drag it into PS to see it - Great illusion! I hope we both just have sucky monitors because id date to see you lose votes for the darkness
Great shot! I would have probably cloned out the hotspots inside the mask. I think it would be great too if the mirror stand wasn't in the frame or clones out... IMHO.
