Wanted to try something different.. thought about refracting my image in a beer bottle. This plays on the 'beer goggles' expression (where the apparent attractiveness of someone increases in direct proportion to the number of beers consumed by the viewer!)

Just an awesome idea! I really loke symmatry too, but I think the symmetry on this one draws my eyes away from the focal point? Its a great shot that needed a different crop. Nice tones and clarity though. 8
Look through a bottle of my favorite beer and you'll see I am a conehead? It's a very interesting way to construct the photograph. Twice there but not there. It's pretty, clever, superbly photographed. But it leaves me cold.
OK, I have reevaluated this photography, and I'm bumping up 2 points to a total of 5. I do this not because you e-mail me, but simply because I think I made a mistake when I rated it the first time. I still feel it doesn't "meet the challenge", but you have put an effort into this photograph, and technically it's a great photograph. If it was a "Beer" challenge, I would have given it an 8. If you plan on doing this for Self Portrait 4, please use a different crop so we can see you more clearly. Good luck
You look like a conehead in the reflection! Hrm, I realise the crop and position was done to get the best reflection in the bottle but the cropped background head just looks a little odd. It all seems so squashed and forced. The idea is great and I'm sure it was difficult to get what you achieved, but something seems to be missing.
