Nice mask for this warrior, he seems like a nice Mexican wrestler looking at you and preparing himself for his recently learned move, the Lechuga Pepper Smasher!!!

I laughed when I saw this. Great still-life, lit well to show the texture in the leaf. Did you cut it out or use a shadowfree background - my guess is the first?

@Jorgen: thanks Jorgen... your guess is correct
the original background is pretty neutral but kind of noisy so I did a cut out to keep the bg clean

It's rumored (by me) that the ancient Aztecs used to place Pepper Head atop their highest temples to strike fear into the hearts of the European invaders. Alas, the Europeans devoured the delicious peppers along with the Aztec gold.
