This is a self portrait.

I didn't think about just setting up the mask and trying the drapey thing until the end. Instead, I put the camera on timer, and ran back into the shot with the mask taped to my nose. (It has no string or anything. And taping it to the forehead didn't work. So carpet tape inside the nose taped to my nose.)

The drapey think is just the robe that I was wearing in this shot:



Do you think that sounds difficult? Not really, just uncomfortable. Difficult came in when I didn't like the eye holes and taped white tape inside of them.

Not seeing what you were doing was difficult!



Outtakes, which probably would have done better, but I liked the funkiness of the one I entered.



Thanks for the comments and the fav!

just draped around my head.

Nicely done - good definition in the mostly light tones and the grain helps it look substantial.

Lots of obvious negative space here, it is sharp, well lit, and a great fit for the challenge. 9
