cherlyn 1 Posted August 23, 2006 I like the diagonal shadow segregation. I also like the contrast of half to full face, red to white lips, black to blank eyes. I think this is a alluring capture. Link to comment
martin_lee5 0 Posted August 23, 2006 The crop is absolutely perfect! It turns this from someone else's art into art of your own. 7/7! Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted August 23, 2006 Intriguing the way the eye and mouth of the two masks are coloured. A very ingenious shot, Pnina, with the half face and whole face and the shadow all combining to make a strong image. Brilliant! Link to comment
sawicki 0 Posted August 23, 2006 I wondered how would it look a bit cropped. And I did it. I like the eye-lips contrast. Very fine picture. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 24, 2006 Cherlyn for your always nice support Martin, I appreciate your stopping by and written comment. Alec thanks as well Colin, Thanks twice, for your support and your great advice. Yes it was taken with the 70-200, I love that lens and use it a lot. Pnina Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for taking the time, I like your version, it is another nice possibility. What I wonder is not meeting your work till now.I read your bio and looked at your work briefly and intend looking extensively of your Auschwitzh folder and comment on it. Thank you for your importent work. Pnina Link to comment
j_m_lee_photography 0 Posted August 24, 2006 WE wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,This debt we pay to human guile;With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise,In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while we wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries to thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! Link to comment

markboyer 0 Posted August 24, 2006 This is overpowering and an artistic tribute to the power of simplicity. It simply blows me away. Oh, I prefer the original crop; it has more mystery and is more unsettling. Link to comment

hanna_v 0 Posted August 24, 2006 I love masks, hence I love this picture. well captured with the light! the cropped version is also a possibility, but I prefer this one, 'cause I like asymmetry. Link to comment
sarahunderhill 1 Posted August 24, 2006 How cool is this? Love the crop and the shadow-good eye... Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 24, 2006 I like the diagonal of shadow (or light, depending on how you look at it) that adds even more interest to this intriguing shot. Well done! Link to comment
