I love that you've done something very different with this shot. It instantly stood out from the crowd for me. The post processing has been handled really well. Washed sepia is the perfect choice for a vintage gas mask. Great shot

Love the cinematic style of this shot. The cool colour and wide crop combine beautifully with the "grubby" make-up and low fill light. The extreme shallow depth of field gives good separation between the model and the background but keeps just enough detail.

If eyes are the most important part of a portrait, then these are hard to beat. The intensity of the stare is brilliant in itself but its the symmetry of the composition that made this one stand out for me

Where do you get you're ideas from :) Works well as an image and is a good starting point. The next step (and the hard part) is to take an idea and make it different, make it yours. Do that and you'll be on to a winner.
