Description

While my initial instinct was to shoot straight on, I thought I would try a different perspective with this Venetian mask. From this angle the beauty of the feathers' texture and color really comes through.

G'day *MAXINE*!

I spotted this in the WEYG Club and my initial reaction was just how effective your different point of view is in giving this lovely still life its powerful and attention grabbing impact.
Your depth of field and focus have rendered exquisite detail and the lighting and exposure have delivered excellent contrast, highlights and colours.
I really hope this does very well for you. You deserve it for your bravery as well as your good photography. 8-)

Thank you all so much for taking notice of my Maschera! And thanks, Deepinder, for the POV comment. There are so many masque images focusing on the face, I thought I would focus on bringing out the texture and color of the feathers. So I just kept trying different POVs. I'm so pleased that you all like it! #8928733
