Light through the Eyes
by Vikas
2nd place

Had this mask lying around for many years, dusty and in storage. Picked it out, dusted and cleaned it to whatever extent possible and decided to shoot with the light shining through the eye holes.

The detail captured is superb. I bet this is great at full size.

Excellent, the high key lighting and limited color palette work together wonderfully. Perhaps a touch more space on the left, but this is a minor niggle.

Vikas: One of those rare shots that captures a metric ton of detail yet still projects a genuine softness. Lot's to like about this one: Concept, composition, lighting, perfect placement of the shadow, crisp detail, soft ivory colors. This is a superb image. Incredibly well done. --Joe

Vikas,
Excellent results with the changes you made. Love the limited color and variety of textures in an interesting subject. Roberta

What a great shot! Wasn't quite the dancing pineapple I thought I saw in the thumbnail! LOL! ~ Lonnit

You and your 10D seem to be getting along wonderfully, Vikas! :-) You are producing beautiful, appealing images and this one is no exception. I'm glad to see your change of left to right face of the mask and, the "extra cushion" of space at the image border.
Well done. Markjay

Vikas, absolutely love this shot. Your entries convince me of the need for studio lights. Off to check my bank balance now.

Nice Job Vikas, this is an awsome and compelling shot

Thank you for your comments and suggestions, more room next to the mask was certainly called for as was change in orientation. Done both, like it better this way. :-) Vikas.

Very creative!! I love seeing the eyes in the shadow!! A great shot, Vikas.
Guest 28-Mar-2004 14:28
Neat subject, and interesting effect in that the shadow has contrast and edges but itself seems "bright". I agree that a touch more room on the right might be good.

Vikas your photos are always so crisp in their detail, yet another lovely one.

Beatuful light and detail! Looks a bit like a drawing.
Only thing I'd change is give it some more room on the right side.
