 I had to break an old wine bottle in order to use the top portion for this photo. I placed the open end over the end of my camera to get this photo. Nothing done to the photo except for resizing.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Well, it is amusing. But I'm not sure there are many people that really want to look up another persons nose!

It's a good idea, and one that is hard to execute. There is little here that is in focus and the slightly overall washed out colours are not real engaging.

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of suggestions on how to improve this image. Possibly some cross lighting to highlight the bottle more. Maybe creating a DOF that shows more of your face.

Sorry. remember just my opinion

lol nice. I think a little less of the out-of-focus area would have made it slightly better tho, but you do need quite a lot still, for the comical element

It is an interesting point of view, however, I'm not sure that the photo triggers anything for me. There is a lot more fuzzy area than actual subject, and the subject is so tiny, that it doesn't seem like a point of interest to me. I think that I wish the opening were larger and that there were less of the inside of the bottle showing. Otherwise, interesting idea for the challenge. ~Heather~

Yep, that's unique. Nice dof (not sure what the texas-shaped object is but it's drawing my attention away a bit).
