*Critique Club*
I really like this. This is a really great nicely set up shot. The feel is fun, neat, and lively.
I think that if I HAD to chose something that could use work, it would be that I wish that some of the purple feathers didn't seem so dark. There was the suggestion of some extra lighting on them, which could work.
I think that a darker background is a bad idea, because the feathers on top are already dark, and the dark background would make this blend in too well, and make it a mushy mess. lol
The focus and clarity are good. I like the detail in the mask, and the sequins and ribbon are nice and crisp. Detail is simply great.
I like the angle and framing/cropping as well. The centered subject here is alright due to the angle of the mask. This creates the dramatic angle that I believe keeps it from being "too centered". Had the mask been straight, I think that would be boring and too centered, however, just that slight tilt was enough to make a world of difference.
Lighting is perfect. I like the little flecks of light on the ribbon and forhead ornament, and I like the shadows created by the mask, and ribbon.
Put this all together, and you have a really excellent image. And you do! I could see this on the front of a birthday card, or party invitation. As is, no changes. It's great.
Congrats on a job WELL done.

Good Work... It burns me up though when 10 people feel this is inferior work. This is good and did not deserve any 1, 2, or 3 marks. Keep up the good work and good luck on the upcoming challenges.

| Beautiful colors, excellent subject. I REALLY like the details and the feel of this. It looks just randomly discarded. Excellent background choice as well. I can think of 5 total shots that are top 3 material - this is one of them! good luck! |

| Looks fun! Can I join? :-) Nice composition. Purple feathers seem a tad dark resulting in lost details, but that could be the monitor I'm using now. Will have to take another look from home later. |

| Great photo...it really captures the festiveness and gaity of Mardi Gras. I love the extras you added to accomplish this, such as, the streamers on the sides and the sequence scattered about, all done very aesthetically. I also like the soft shadows. Only thing I would like to have seen, is a spot light on the feathers, or maybe some fill flash to illuminate the top feathers a bit better. |

| Excellently composed. The shadows in the "eyes" make it look alive. |

| Simple, fun, effective. Even though it is a set up shot with limited props, it does say Mardi Gras. Nice vibrant colors, those silks and glitters help. Good composition. 8 |

| Perfect subject, love it. I'm not sure about the white background, though, maybe something darker. A lovely 9. |
