I still love it, and don't know why it was removed, must have been something in the wording of the contest that was lost on both of us.Must go and have a look at that contest now to see what is left.

Still a great shot... I don't know, but would guess that it was removed because it didn't show the scenery of a carnival, but just a person. Good luck here, though - anything goes!

What a shame. But i agree with Kyricom as a possible reason. I think the photo is a carnival in it self.

I guess the mods may say that people know who you are because of voting for you in the other one. Lets hope sanity prevails. as I'm sure most will vote the same way.

Congrats, I love this shot.

Wow! Very unusual piece and yes your lighting makes it very frightening!

That is amazing the color

what a beautiful bug

loving the background looks like he's walking on lava swirls. Assuming the lava is for some reason great/white

cool shot. It would look more like a mask if you rotated it 180 degrees

Thanks all for nice comments and kyricom also for the good suggestion

great!

That looks good. We can really see the "face" now! GL
