I had thought of making this costume for Halloween. When I read the title of the challenge I thought I would do in a week what I planned to do in a month. The hat took several nights of work. My girlfriend helped me a lot and my mom took great part in sewing. The eyebrows were made with hydraulic hemp and painted with colored hairspray. Hair is mine: unkempt and were painted with orange hairspray. My girlfriend had fun to make my makeup and had to tweak it several times during the set because my eyes were watering and ruined his work. For the background, I created a cardboard mask-shaped hat and I used to paint the shapes with a spray bottle (as in Photoshop, but much more easily).The color of my eyes was retouched in PP. I had a great time to do this picture and I hope you enjoy it.
WOW!! I'm so happy for the Blue and my PB. Thanks for the votes and the comments.
I've checked my camera: the date is the day after tomorrow. I've done the classic error.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo, that is such a common mistake and what a huge bummer. To me this will always be 1st place cos it was the very best one.
OHHH I am so sorry to see the DQ! I had this picked to win, and actually it did!! GO reset your Camera!! But as one other poster said, This one Won't be forgot!!!
An outstanding effort and very fun photograph! Sorry you lost the spot on the front page, but you still ended up with a great shot that people really enjoyed!
Ughh, after having just gone through my first experience and thrill of getting a ribbon I totally feel for you. But it did get quite a bit of exposure for the short time it was on the top page. I know you must have enjoyed the experience even if you were rushed putting it all together. Next time, at least you'll have the camera's date setup properly. Good Luck.
Wonderful costume, , props, makeup, and backdrop. But I especially love the radiant smile. Such humor in the face. Congratulations on your blue ribbon and PB.
Oh no! As I was writing this comment, the disqualification appeared. I'm so sorry about the ribbon. That happens, but really hurts when it does. Still you achieved an amazing image.
