Interesting concept and tremendous looking helmet - but I think there is just too much going on in the picture to distract the viewer. If you were able to get hold of this helmet and give it a little more space I think you could get a tremendous shot from it.
Very well done, but I think it might been even stronger when it was presented in fully b&w, since the helmet is already 90% greyscaled anyway. Now the blue is pulling to much attention (IMO). Still worth 7!
