Love the concept. Not sure the best thing to see is an eye though. Or if you're married to the big brother idea, perhaps something other than a can. I just don't draw much connection between "can" and "big brother theory". 6
Imagine you can't hide even in a beer can from Big Brother's eye.
Can u?
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.

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.
