The contrast between your pale skin, the brightness and energy of the red feathered masque and your aquamarine eyes astonish me. It's wonderful.

I just love the way your green eyes stand out against the red mask! The pale skin also adds to the eerie effect, just as the title and description suggest. Good work!

well this is lovely
I have used a similar mask before and it is not easy getting the details to work in the feathers. I love the "china doll" skin tone here and the eyes almost pierce out from behind the mask. Lovely photograph.

You have great competing and complimentary colors at work here, Christine -- the red from your lips to the mask's feathers, as well as the striking colors of your eyes (wow!) to the same red of the surrounding plume! I feel like, thought the mask accents the feeling you're unapproachable, looking past that into those pools of your blue eyes, I might dare step forward... just a little bit anyway.

you're more than welcome! This just makes me wish you (or I, for that matter) were nearer... I've got some masks that I'd love to get modeled for shots too! *sigh*
