Simple shot. I used the mask from the mother challenge and put it up against a black backround. converted to greyscale, andusted the contast, lighting, and shadows to the entire image. Finally cropped square. I love masks!

To be honest, I'm not in love with this photo. There isn't anything technically wrong with it. Perhaps the highlights are a bit too bright but there doesn't seem to be any lost detail as a result. And that's part of the problem. The mask is just ordinary with little interesting details to look at. Maybe if it was painted or someone was wearing it and you saw their eyes this photo would do better. As is there isn't anything that grabs your attention. Hope this helps.
