Nice placement of the mask. If this were a real magazine, it would leave space for some text above it. The yellow border is very reminiscent of the National Geographic style.

again with these staged shots, I think a natural background would do wonders. stone wall wooden rust anything.

Meets the challenge theme well, but the angle you've shot your subject in seems odd. It's also placed in the frame awkwardly. The yellow border is not necessary except for cover pages.

I can almost see the titles on the page it fits the challenge so well.

Wow! That looks like it could actually be an issue of National Geographic.

Wow, where-ever did you get the model for this shot? Great job getting the national geogrphic look

Fits the challenge. Look authentic (is it?). Could have been made more interesting with another mask or artifact in the picture. Nicely done!

The border and background hurt this image.

I don't personally care for the background in this shot, it makes the head appear as if it is floating in nowwhere and seems unnatural to me. Interesting artifact though.

Extra credit for the yellow border and background! Good think you left room for the title and the articles! ;)
Mask angle is interesting and highlights the top/hair. I assume you found that more interesting than the mouth/chin (I think I would like to see more of those). In all a great execution of the theme.

I commend you for the concept. A tighter composition would be better though. Great work.

That looks like an old NG cover I remember from childhood. Was always full of the masks that were scary to little kids. Nicely done.

I like the mask- personally, the yellow border is a bit distracting though
