 Thanks to everyone who voted and took the time to comment. And even got a fav from this challenge.

This photo was orginally for the "Light on White" challenge.


After messing with curves, I found the lovely tone of red. I like darker photos in general and decided to enter this.

This was my first attempt with a white background. I had gone out, bought some lights, the right bulbs and it came out pretty well. Was a great, fun learning experince.

The mask was bought at Ben Frankin. I then found "Crackle Paint." When the paint dries, it creates the cracks you see here.

Again, thanks to all who commented and my first FAV.

I really like this image.. I think that this would have been a winner in my books if the background didn't blend in quite so much with the mask. I think that a lighter background would have really brought out the details in this. Even having said that, I really like what you did here.

Good message, lovely tones & colours and layout. Dropping 2 points as I dont see the skin you want portrayed, I see the mask

This is very unique - nicely done in basic - will do well as a poster with another title - 9
