 This is a half-face mask made of leather. The part over the face is fish leather. The whole mask is huge and was difficult to photograph, so I opted for showing part of it.

Used natural light from window.
Sharpened
Nik efex Darken/Lighten Center filter.

Tried in vain to fix that dark smudge on the right eye - it will have to stay.

This is very last minute. Good luck to moi.

Alicia, top 30, well done. What a pity it didn't nudge over to a 6. It should have.

This was one of my four 9's in this challenge, i'm surprised to see it under a 6. I love the colours and textures in the shot.

I knew you would enter this challenge - and you should know that as you are with bugs so I am with masks.

Having said that I thought you did a really nice job on this with. Super composition and a real nice range of vibrant earth tones.

It still makes me shudder though

It's beautiful how your hair falls over the mask, adds another interesting texture to it. Great job with the SP!

One of the more unusual masks, good color, clarity and contrast. Mysterious, very unique. :)

Strong colours and a clever idea - the only thing that let's it down a little is the clear fact that she's wearing a mask - if you could have made that more seamless it would have fitted the title even better.
