This was the display in one of the many many such souvenir shops in Venice. The central mask caught my attention. I hope you like it! I wasn't quite sure about the category; I thought "Macro" is as good as any! ps I have changed the category to "general" now after Chris's note.

The mask right in the center, reminds me of the scene "Masquerade," from the movie, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom Of The Opera, my favorite movie of all time. This is a very interesting and colorful display. Thanks for posting it.

Another beautiful reminder of Venice! Looking at your shots brings back all the lovely memories from Venice...
Have to agree with Jim on the center mask!
Lovely shot with nice colors and composition.

I have been asked to review this picture. It is a picture of a mask in a shop window. I am not sure I agree with Gabrielle's comment about the composition. I find the angle of the shot leads my eyes away from the central mask towards the cropped mask to the left. The light flare is also distracting. I am not sure how you could improve the shot of that window, there is too much clutter to get a clean or interesting shot. But, it does bring back memories of Venice for me too. The macro gallery tends to be for very small things.

Dear Chris,

I appreciate your instructive comments! I am only an amateur....and quite honestly, an absolute novice in artistic photography. I shall benefit from any pearl/teaching given to me! Once again, I thank you for your valuable comments!

Sincerely,

Rokh
