Description There are facets of our nature that are so deep, so primal, so secret that not even those closest to us will ever know what they are. Nor would we ever want to share them. For they are those parts of us that are the most mysterious...the most seductive...and the most dark...

*

I chanced upon two of these masks in my local charity shop for only 50p each.
They brought out my more melodramatic side for about half an hour and this pic is the result.

Full view recommended, thanks.

Forestina-Fotos In reply to Emad-Sawas [2008-01-02 18:21:26 +0000 UTC]

DD means Daily Deviation. Each day a small selection of pics are chosen by various administration members (that might have been suggested by DA members.)

For example, here is the link to the page for today's selection - [link]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!
My gallery used to be even bigger but I reduced it down recently.

You can suggest a DD for someone else's work. I'm not sure if you can suggest a DD for your own work though.

Slightly you say I certainly Wouldn't want to cross you if i just had this photo to go by. I think that it is the angle of your head as your looking back that gives that impression, but the expession on your face is kind of sad, especially if you just look at the eyes.
