"Lyeites,lyeites,slyozi gorkiye!
Plach,plach,dusha pravoslavnaya!
Skoro vrag pridyot i nastanet tma
Tyemen tyomnaya, neproglyadnaya!"

from Mussorgsky Boris Godunov Act IV scene 1
libretto Pouchkine
Vienna Philarmonic Orchestra conducted by Herbert Von Karajan
with Nikolai Ghiaurov as Boris
Martti Talvela as Pimen
Galina Vishnevskaya as Marina
...and Aleksei Maslennikov ,the Simpleton, singing these words
1971
translation:
"Gush forth,gush forth, bitter tears!
Weep,weep,true-believing soul !
Soon the enemy will come and darkness will fall !
Black darkness,unfathomable"

A shot of one of my enamelled terracotta masks
-increased gamma as much as possible without loosing details
- a shot of the moon from which I extracted the tears
- cloned the bg to erase the last details being seen of the wall behind the mask

Bonsoir Henri,
Je trouve celà d'une grande beauté.
L'expression et l'émotion de ce masque me sied à souhait. Compliments.

"Les larmes de tous les peuples sont de vraies larmes ; les rêves de tous les sages renferment une part de vérité. Tout n'est ici-bas que symbole et que songe".

Très belle nuit.

Salam Henri

The mask seems sad by itself but your special pp work makes it really an artwork
Extra contrast works well here, the pattern is nice, good idea

Best wishes, Alireza

Bonjour Henri.
Il y a sur Wikipedia http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeste_Moussorgski un portrait assez étonnant de ce personnage.
Ton image montre un masque de scène tout aussi intéressant qui ressemble un peu à un extraterrestre.
Bonne soirée.
Urs
