    Masks
    One of the masks has been repeated, I was wondering if it is all that obvious.

    I quite like this. Seems busy at first, but then - if you take the time - you can begin discovering some interesting colors and shapes. The crop may be a little too long, but this could be a matter of preference.

    Interesting image. I wouldn't have noticed the repetition if you hadn't mentioned it, and even with your prompting, it still took me a while to catch it. You could remedy the situation by cropping the lowest row, making it a tad shorter as llewpics suggested.

    llewpics and Ken thanks for your thoughts, a crop as you both suggested is probably the way to go, maybe at the chin of the mask bottom right.

    Congrats on your 1000th post Ken

    Nice fully framed image there Pete. I find myself liking the two top middle ones the best with their graduated colors. The black areas near the bottom take a little away from the pattern, but it is still successful.

    As for the repeating, it wasn't detectable at a glance. Once I read your caption, I see that the left side masks are the same except for the colors, but you have to look for it.

    Mexico?

    Thanks ekonom

    This was in Venice Greg, if you look closely you will see that the black masks in the third row are the same ( check the ribbon )... :)
    I cloned the bottom one in to fill the gap, but as Ken and llewpics pointed out I would probably been better to crop the bottom, but the exercise was fun to do.

    Sorry to be a little negative, but this gives me the impression of being there but not exploring my surroundings. It feels like a documentation of a mask booth at a fair rather than a more original composition. If that's what you wanted, though, perfect.

    Interesting subject though!

    Hi Valsi thanks for your thoughts, this is a crop from a shot I took of a merchants stand in Venice, so you are right in a way but I did explore my surroundings, this is just one of the many things that interested me there.
    And also welcome to critique love to see some of your stuff
