Whoa! I didn’t expect this whole thing to stir up so much emotions.
I appreciate all the feedback, and would like to tell everyone that I DO read also.
I read that the guys on the outside are wearing masks. But the whole angle on the left picture is totally off.
Head from the left page on the left, head from the right page on the right
If you check the image, you can clearly see the outlines of the mask on the left side (it must be a cardboard mask including hair).
On the right page the mask sits naturally and believably, but on the left page the model must be sitting, crouched, in a seriously uncomfortable way in order to be able to hide behind the mask like that.
Well, anyway… Think of it what you like… I will do the same.
