I had several pictures to choose from. I am sort of disappointed in that you can tell the TV is not on and can see the cord, etc... The light I hid behind the TV also does not do that good of a job lighting my face.

I also wish I had a polarizer to cut some of the glare off the section in the center of the pic.

Nice idea, arrangement, props, including bottle. Surrealistic, and it grew on me at the second viewing - bumping up.

Interesting idea, however I'm not quite sure this counts as an oxymoron...
