This made me laugh out loud. This isn't the "Phallic" theme, but you've nailed an unusual perspective all right. Why the orange hands? I guess you were shooting by refrigerator light...like the Meatloaf song..."I could see paradise by the dashboard light."

High marks.

Nice idea! I like the image a great deal and think the relevance is high. I am not so sure about my feelings about the colors nor the blurry hands... but overall a very strong image!

Flatline said 537 days ago:

This is really quite good. I like the graphic effect - the way the kitchen is clear and focused, but the person and the beers are blurred and in motion. Very good, high marks.

Everyone needs a beer fridge

This is the strangest perspective I have seen yet! Very cool. Camera placed in back of refrigerator and self-timer? What a unique idea. I have not seen this done before.

I love the perspective. High mark on relevance! The processing doesn't work too well for me on his hands/face. Not sure what you're going for, so maybe I'm totally missing something. Cropping off just below his eyes also feels a bit off. Otherwise, I love this shot! Great perspective!!

Thanks everyone for the comments.
No this is not (yet!) the "Beer" (Phallic) theme but almost the "Self Portrait #4" ;-)) (missed the #3 !!)
Considering the colors and blurry hands I tried something a bit graphic in the processing (curves+desaturating a few colors and I am 90 % pleased with this now, so it's 10 % to make it better..)
@gorin-images : thanks ;-)) the idea came from a short movie I saw a few years ago - technically I only put my camera + fish-eye (+many beers!!) inside the fridge and shot with my brand new ML-L3 remote controle+ self timer this morning in a kind of experimental & have fun way !

I really think the blur enhances this shot and I like seeing the refrigerator from the perspective of the beer. I think this is great.

Thanks Hummingbird ;-)
