Masks

A summer mask festival on the beach, thanks for your impressions, Pnina

Thanks

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.

The crop is absolutely perfect! It turns this from someone else's art into art of your own. 7/7!

Lovely exposure Pnina. Composition is very good.

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!

I wondered how would it look a bit cropped. And I did it. I like the eye-lips contrast. Very fine picture.

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.

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.

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!

 

 

Dear PNINA, very nice composition, like the way you have presented the subject.

 

Regards

Spencer, so well written and truthfull. Thanks a lot for that special comment . Shalom my friend.

 

Biswajit, thanks as well for your nice feedback .

 

Pnina

wonderful composition...

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.

excellent one, Pnina ! I love the expressions ...

Impressive composition pnina,well done.

 

Best regards Shuki

Superb dear Pnina :) finally something different from Landscapes/flowers/insects!

Yes, very original dear friend.

 

Well spotted :)

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.

How cool is this? Love the crop and the shadow-good eye...

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!

To all of you, I appreciate your written impressions, Pnina

Impressive crop, interesting contrast.

Complimenti.

Pnina, You have a perfect eye for seeing your photographs. I might add that the exposure is very possibly perfect as well......Jim

Solo con tres colores O tonos has conseguido una magnifica y original imagen de gran belleza, saludos cordiales Pnina.

Your original crop is VERY effective!! This is a wonderful shot ... even the shadows work in your favor!
