Very moody tones Elias! I like the lighting and color on the subject here, which seems to deserve its centered composition. It's a bit fuzzy, but still an impressive subject.

The lighting is very nice.I love this one Elias.Hot color brushed on the mask represent a mysterious sound.I can hear a rythm of Mayan beat like I used to watch in movie.Good shadow also.

Very good capture Elias. I like this a lot. The mood is kind of dark and spooky. I wonder if this is what was intended by the artist who created this?

Good work, -David

Nice picture of a lost culture. I like the reddish colors and tha fact that the mask is surrounded by the darkness. It's like a reminiscence of the past that you witnessed in the museum. Very good portrait ;o)

Hola Elias

Creo que este tipo de mascaras esconden mucha historia de las antiguos civilizaciones y solo por eso merece una mencion especial, me alegro de ver este trabajo. La composición está bien recortada y centrando la luz en la parte más predominante. Le falta algo de definición y tal vez contraste pero de todos modos es una gran trabajo.
PD: Te he colgado un WS... a ver que te parece.
Saludos
Sergio
