Thanks very much to all for lovely comments. This is my daughter after coming back from China at the end of Jan-20 where a mask is a must there.

You have given 2020 a positive swing that is really (nice) positive, a contribution to the Year 2020 Collection. As always, the competition will be tough, which, as an added consequence, makes a possible victory taste very sweet. Good luck and probably for the … time: Happy New Year and stay healthy in 2021!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo is of my daughter and was taken at home when she was trying different masks. Saw the opportunity to take some shots of her wearing different masks and with different eye expressions, but this one was the one I like the most. It was shoot in colour thought so her intense blue eye still can be appreciated in black and white, so happy with this version.

Time

This was taking on 02-Apr-2020 early afternoon, when light was entering via the window to the room when I was taking the shots.

Lighting

Used natural light and correct some shadows and dark areas in processing.

Equipment

I shoot with a Canon EOS 70D, with a Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens, shoot at 75mm, handheld camera, so ISO was a bit high.

Inspiration

As mentioned above, was just experimental, saw the opportunity and took the photos as she looks really nice wearing different masks and the light was right at that moment. Was not a planned shooting.

Editing

Yes, use the latest Photoshop to control some shadows and covert it to black and white pic. Minor changes only.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 70 and my zoom lens Canon 70 - 300mm.

Feedback

Only to follow your instinct, if you see an opportunity, just have a go. It is not perfect but I am glad to have a photo like this from my daughter.
