 Oh what fun! There were quite a few challenges here. Freezing the dude in the correct position took freezing in three layers (after much trial and error)with boiled water (less bubbles).
Then the sides were straightened with a circular saw because the rounded corners of the freezer container didn't look any good.
Then came the glass setup, background, a bunch of different spotlights, flashlights, color changers etc. The actual exosure was easy enough, and the postprocessing nothing to get excited about.
I'm happy with this photo.

You only need to freeze your head, apparently....

Curious composition with interesting colors and a good solid black background. Good concept!

Some viewers may find the use of a doll unrealistic. I know, sounds dumb in a fantasy challenge but people often expect the illusion of reality in their fantasies. I always do with my fantasies about women. :)

It is hard to tell exactly what the glass support is and it does not add lots to the composition. You might consider cropping it down so the the whole support is not included in the composition.

The focus is a little soft and will be interpreted as indicating a lower quality image.

Did you freeze Ken?! I'm not big on toys in pictures, but, the lighting effect is pretty neat...especially the green part. Nice try.
