 This will either work or it won't. Some people may relate to V from the movie...others may not of even seen it and have no idea what it's about. Also, some may find it too dark and not see the character. But, you have to risk it sometimes! :)

I bought the mask from a local crap store and painted it very dodgey! Got my wife to put on the glove, a sheet for a cape and a piece of cardboard I cut out for a hat. Threw a home made snoot onto the end of a single bowens strobe.

Post Challenge: Oh how right I was to have concerns about this one. Oh well, lesson learnt hopefully!

not sure how many have read the book or seen the movie but this is pretty good.

LOL. I just saw this movie yesterday! I like the mask but what's holding it seems odd to me. Either show a bit more detail or just have the mask visible.

Cool - not sure what the 5th November has to do with a mask, but I like the image.

Does it count as faceless if it still show a'face' not sure. never the less this is a wonderful photo. might have light it a little more from the left to clear the shadow from the mask (unless that was your intent). other then that very well executed.

I love the subtlety of the gloved hand and the hint of the silhouette. Very cool. I'm not familiar with the quote. Refresh my memory please~~ 7

Just saw the movie last night else I would not have gotten the title. The hands (finger) are just a bit too dark and make it look like a mark on the mask that seems out of place.

great idea, but i'm missing something here ... is it maybe too dark in some areas that i should see ?
