Imagine you can't hide even in a beer can from Big Brother's eye.
Can u?

Yes, the picture has a title. Try George Orwell's 1984. Or at least this:

Originally posted by Momo: 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.
