You made this with a beer can? Now that's different. And it would seem to open up a whole new world of possibilities... I see themed frat and beach parties, Coors Light commercials, and other cross-marketing opportunities. Prepare yourself for the onslaught.

Nice shot, btw! I actually rather like the strange light flares in the lower left. And that line of brightly lit snow across the back gives the eye somewhere to go after it follows the fence.

How exactly does one compose through a beer can? With beer goggles?

I'm new to this site and was just cruising around out of curiosity, not intending to actually leave any critiques, but this one stopped me in my tracks.

At first blush, it appears to be rather misogynistic, and I imagine you might have gotten "beaten around the head" for that, but the ephemeral nature of the images on the wall suggest a much more mischievous intent.

It certainly makes one think - about one's own attitudes toward women in general, and attractive women in specific. And it causes one to speculate about the photographer's attitudes on these subjects as well. Heck, maybe you are commenting on the state of glamour photography, head shots, and modeling too?

It also makes me wonder... how did he do that?? And on that tangent...is wet darkroom trickery inherently "better" than digital darkroom trickery?

A compelling photo, to be sure.
