In doing a challenge for extremes it's a picture like this that makes me want to throw my camera away. Zounds! How does he shave? My initial thoughts was this was a woman, which IMHO makes it even freakier.

While this just screams freaky to all of my sensibilities, it's a rather marvelous portrait. The rendering of the subdued color and texture throughout the frame is really nice. -Michael

Hi. No mask here, it is the real thing. He is a chap that seems to spend a bit of time around the Camden Markets and lock in London. I have seen him there a few times. There is a variety of people who spend their time in this area displaying a large variety of alternative fashion. He seemed very friendly and quite happy to pose for the photo (for a quid though).

Great find... must be a rubber mask surely nobody could be that bizaare? But then... we do have politicians? Well done, no doubt this is on-topic? ~ Bob

Screaming "extreme!" - exactly the type of shot I had in mind when thinking about the topic. I find it difficult to believe that the person can be for real. :-) Regards ~jnconradie
