I struggled with this for days now. But finally the name suddenly came to me. With that, I got the image in my head.

I decided against adding text because I thought it made it look cheesy. Not that the picture is supposed to be serious or anything. But the text took away from the humor.

I don't expect this to do very well, but I'm here to learn.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Nice focus and also very nice color. Your point of view illustrates well exactly what your were looking to convey.

Lighting: I think that the lighting is what cost you the most points here. Maybe a little fill flash at the bottom of the frame would have helped balance that strong light at the top of the frame.

Composition/Content: In one word, cluttered. I agree with the other posters that taking some of the goodies out of the refrigerator would have helped out a bit. As it is, the cleverness of the cans escaping gets lost in the business of the contents.

My Opinion: Comical and very creative, perhaps one of the more creative entries of the challenge. With a little better lighting and a little less business in the fridge, I think that you'd have pulled a better score.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Good, imaginative shot. A little front-lighting would help prevent the dark bottom.

Fun idea and nice set up with the cans although feels a bit cluttered with the fridge full of random stuff.

Very funny setup. Don't think it makes a great album cover, but kudos for trying it.

Ha! Clever! Execution would have been aided by cleaning the fridge out just a touch, but I think this is a very good concept!

this isn't really shaped like an album (square). It's a neat idea, but the lighting doesn't work. Maybe some additional light outside of the refrigerator?

doesn't look anything like an album cover to me (wrong format and the band name seems strange0 but it sure is a funny pic.
