Cool picture..
But its something which makes me think "zombie" about it..
I do think its the kind of b/w & the air above the head...

Hi Jaco
Great sharpness on the eyes, good work with your added blur around the edges also, an eyecatching and very different portrait!

What is it made from? Some mud? I first thought you created the mask. See now it's for real. Very interesting. I agree with the "zombie look" that someone mentioned. Very interesting capture of the eyes. Honestly it is a bit of a scary look.
