I think this is a great photo, but I interpreted the subject as the mask. Your title "Visage" reinforced this. If you had titled it "Milk on my mind" or something like that, that would have changed my perception of the subject of the photo and I would have given you a very high mark.
Wow. Looking at it in retrospect I think I should've scored this higher. My apologies--as really stylistically this beats all the cows hands down. Maybe because I was getting so used to the bovines & glass bottles (all obvious) I didn't realize the milk as backdrop.
Either way, this is a beautifully done photograph. If I could've gotten through all the dairies this time around I may have come across this again and upped the anty. My apologies that I didn't give you at least an 8 or 9.
I'm sorry, I just don't get how anyone can think this WASN'T pertaining to the challenge. I thought this was a great photo and a VERY creative use of a DAIRY product. Technically and creatively a great picture that should have scored much higher.
A very strong visual in its own right, and I can see the milk (I presume) around the eyes, but it's not really "about" dairy IMO. A 6 on the appeal factor.
I gave you a ten because you used milk in a very strange way, in a way that I've never seen before. This photo is very simple yet alluring, and the off-center mask gives the milk ambience. I applaud you for such creativity. Well done.
Very interesting approach to the challenge. I like your creativity. I rated this a 5, but had it not been essentially a photograph of existing artwork I would have rated it much higher.
Creative approach to dairy, putting a mask into milk. Nice clean image; Focus, Color, Composition- all good. The milk coming out from the eyes is cool looking.
With a quick glance, it appears that the photo doesn't meets the challenge. But in the eyes looks something like milk. But all the photo it's to white to find that. Maybe a little more use of some shadows.

I assumme that the mask is floating in milk, but it is not completely evident. I really like your idea and presentation. The off-center composition is great, and the colors on the mask work well with the photo. Nice work.
this is sunk into a bowl of milk or something right? otherwise it doesn't make any sense at all. i'm going to assume that that is what i see in the eyes and faintly near the chin and vote on that assumption. nice image by the way! 9.
hope the milk didn't ruin your mask
I wish the milk had been higher on the right so it looked the same as the left...maybe put some packing under the left so the mask was more level
you had better request a DQ fast so you can get this validated quickly so as not to hurt your score as this may show up as digital art on some monitors gave you a 9
