I talked my wife into holding this mask while she was watching the hockey game. She started to give me some funny faces then removed the mask and blew me a kiss. I just kept taking pictures. I like this one 'cause it shows personality. She's a good sport.
Gausen blur, clone out part of the background, hue/sat, sharpen, crop, size for web.

The pout isn't really working. The shoulder separates the viewer from the subject and appears a bit standoffish instead of evoking sympathy for the subject.
Well, there is a mask, and a model. Scene is too dark while the mask seems to be too bright in spots. Overall fuzzy, background seems lighter than the foreground. Sorry for the criticisms, please don't get discouraged. :)
