 I meant to re-shoot this, because It wasn't what I really wanted, but I didn't have time. This was the best of the shoot.

I tried to get my eyes in focus within the glasses, but the prescription for my right is stronger than my left eye, so I couldn't get them both in focus -let alone get my eyes within the eye frames.

On the whole, I'm pretty pleased with the score - thanks!

I really liked this.. I agree with your comments that it would have been more effective if the glasses had shown the eyes nice and sharp...

Well done anyways, and great quote!

the glasses are in focus but you are not. would this have been more striking if your eyes appeared through the glasses, or just too weird? I don't know, but good concept. 7

I actually like this concept... I think I would have tried to get the refraction in the glasses to be sharp though.

Nice concept here. Would have scored MUCH higher if the view through the glasses was in focus, too.

I like it a lot! Probably would've liked it even better if you could've somehow lined up the glasses over your eyes...
