Very haunting image has a very spooky feeling about it. The focus is very good and the lighting very appropriate for this image. Nice how the veil disappears into the darkness.
One thing I really find distrubing in the entire image is that little ornament on the hat near the top on the rightside. It is almost as if it there a leading line and when your eye follows it there is nothing to look at. Other than that it really is a very neat image. Well done and definately meets the challenge.
Very nice work. The lighting matches the mask so well, and it was a stroke of genius to add that net (or a stroke of luck if it were already there!). Nice job.
Great shot!! I love the vail. it gives it great depth. The lighting is very dramatic. There is just one thing that bugs me, the pearls at the top right hand corner. Good luck
this is kind of spooky, but i think the netting in front kind of ruins it. if you took that off and just shot this ominous mask, i think the image would be a lot stronger. the lighting and shadows are nice. 6.
Wow - very impressive shot. The low-key definitely adds to the mood of the image and the mask leaps out at you with its eerie expression. This is a really nice shot. Perhaps a tiny bit busy up in the upper right corner - I find that a bit distracting. But overall one of the best I've seen so far. 8
