Imagine you can't hide even in a beer can from Big Brother's eye.
Can u?

Yes, the picture has a title. Try George Orwell's 1984. Or at least this:

Very cool picture. The only thing I see that might be improved is the light shining on the face seems too strong. It washes out the color of the skin. Maybe use a tinted light? I would have preferred some deeper colored eyes for this picture like a rich blue or green. Most of the picture is gray aluminum, so for the subject to really stand out, you'd want a more pure color than the greyish eyes and almost white skin.... unless you were going for consistency with the color of the frame. I personally think that strong contrast between the frame and the subject would work better here.


Thanks a lot. Very useful comment. Yet there is an explanation for the washout color of the skin ... It was round 6AM and there was a lot of redness around the retina - don't ask me why :). So I did some levels. A little too much it seems.
I would have used some blue eyes too, but mine are green - grayish and the only ones I could find that morning :D.

Top 10 for sure, if not in the top 3!

Simple and very well done indeed.

A good idea and title. The lighting is rather harsh outside the can.

Good focus and detail. Good idea. would probably be better centering the photo and cropping away the leftmost side of the photo.

gotta give you props for a difficult lighting set up; well done to get enough light on the eye to see the iris colors. DOF issues makes gettting the aluminum can sharp and the eye but you did well enough. Good entry; hope you score a ribbon.

I'd have never guess how clean and shiny the inside of a can was. I think the focus should've been on the eye, rather than the can. Very creative.

Very nice shot, I like the popcan. But what on earth was your camera doing at the bottom of a popcan?
