Hiding Behind The Mask

Mardi Gras masks originated in ritual celebrations. ... In the beginning, masks worn during Mardi Gras allowed wearers to escape society and class constraints. When wearing a mask, carnival goers were free to be whomever they wanted to be, and mingle with whatever class they desired to mingle with.

I really like the way your mask fills the frame - artistically presented processing, too.
