*Stunning!  Very impactful.

* Awesome image that leaves a lot for the viewer to take in or interpret.  The post processing is well done…as a side not the face looks upside down.  Awesome just awesome.

* Very interesting and cryptic shot!

Here is a  challenge that my wife and I were able to participate in together. She helped me out with the flash light and by pressing the shutter button 🙂 It is a set of 3 images blended and post processed in PS. Thanks once again PAC for another great challenge, cheers 🙂

Congratulations, Javier!!
