Spriggan masks..HELP NEEDED F-LIST!!

[merimask]

Well, I finished my newest mask, Spriggan, and I'm pretty happy with it. 
   
I did it three times, with three different shapes, and I did it in green leaves as well as autumn leaves.   This is meant to be a theatrical mask, for wearing, and constructive crit is VERY welcome as I have to pick the best of these three for an important project.

The first mask:
narrowly shaped & green.
viewed from above...
viewed from the side.
Below is the second mask.
Splayed & green.
from the side.
Below is the third mask.
Narrowly shaped & autumn-colored.
Viewed from the side.

Here's the tricky part...this is meant for stage theatrics & needs to look good on a person, from a distance.  I personally think the ones that sweep back (#1 and #3) are the most dramatic & easiest to wear & move in.  Charlotte modeled for me.  Take a look:
number 1...
number 2...
number 3.

I need help picking ONE, because now I don't know which is more striking; the autumn color or the green?

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH so pretty!!!!

That out of the way, I agree with the last person - the green is more striking from a distance. If you really wanted the autumn leaves I would go with red or orange (although of course oak leaves don't tend to turn red or bright orange.... so.... hm)

I like number 1 best: I'm not sure whether it's just the angles you gave but it has the ability to look both neutral (1st pic) and menacing (2nd pic). Also, the more narrow silhouette looks more.... streamlined? Better, anyway.

So... yeah! Yayyyyy! Pretty!

Oh, wait, I just checked. They do turn red and orange..... I just never noticed. Heh.

A metallic red *would* be really nice.

Thank you. :-) I'm partial to the narrow one too...I think it's a better design for wearing purposes. The splayed-out one looks better on the wall though.

I'm thinking of doing one with maple leaves instead of oak, and I'd make bright flaming red leaves then.
