Mask that was given to us by my in-laws many years ago, from southern Africa. Actual size is about 13 inches in height, about 10 inches across. Little cropping and some cloning to remove few dust spots, and usual PS adjustments incouding US.

Nice placement of the mask. If this were a real magazine, it would leave space for some text above it. The yellow border is very reminiscent of the National Geographic style.
Meets the challenge theme well, but the angle you've shot your subject in seems odd. It's also placed in the frame awkwardly. The yellow border is not necessary except for cover pages.
I don't personally care for the background in this shot, it makes the head appear as if it is floating in nowwhere and seems unnatural to me. Interesting artifact though.
Extra credit for the yellow border and background! Good think you left room for the title and the articles! ;)
Mask angle is interesting and highlights the top/hair. I assume you found that more interesting than the mouth/chin (I think I would like to see more of those). In all a great execution of the theme.
