Yes! I'm so glad you spotted those -- usually I'm good at seeing the "other picture in the picture" but not this time. The actually remind me of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks seen in association with the theater industry, which was actually one of my alternate topics if I hadn't gotten hold of this one.
The other reason I cut off the nose was that it was pretty lopsided, and I didn't think I could (legally) clone it enough to straighten it out -- I try to avoid taking any liberties with the rules that other members might not get away with. :-) |

I wish the bottom weren't cut off too, but leaving it in would have required too much cloning work to have been legal under the applicable rule set. I tried to fix these problems in the print version.
BTW: The mask is being "worn" by my vitreous friend, Professor Airhead:

Based on the set-up shots it looks like the sideways facing faces were purely unintentional. Also the lighting really looks like it's brushed paint in the submitted shot. I was one of your 7's. Good submission and very underrated IMHO. But yes, too bad you had to crop the nose. You should have hid the wires better. |

This mask in facinating. It looks like it has two silhouette faces on the sides. Good composition with the "fire" behind. What is it really? |

original concept, lighting is off and the bits of yellow on the mask are distracting |

I think a little more contrast could have really helped this image. Maybe making the full nose visable would have help as well. |

This has a great almost abstract feel to it - love the combination of colours and shapes |
