Gas Mask - BW

[vipgraphx]

Playing around with mood lighting and my son. I was going for a mood not of happiness but pain, sorrow, confusion - opposite of rainbows and roses. Trying to use the light lights to help control the emotion. This is hard to do when he is wearing a gas mask and also facing backwards.

Did I capture it?

CC?

I like #1, but I wish we could see his whole face/mask. I think had this been shot in portrait aspect, it would have added a lot to the image. #2... the mask is pointless, and without any of his face visible, there's really no emotion.
