This is an alternative take on Jason #1, taken while he was shooting this Pepsi can on Fleetwood beach. And beyond that I guess there's not too much I can tell you about this one. As always though, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Great shot! It works very well I think. I like how the photographer on the left somehow frames and thus underlines the picture but also gives a very nice story within the story, a “mise-en-abyme” you might say. I like the very strong contrast on the Pepsi can making it clear that it's the main subject.
My thoughts? I need Topaz Detail :D ... fine my friend!

The photographer adds a nice negative space to this fine and unique photo . He is maybe a tad too large. But still. Excellent. The story within the story. Fine work!

Like this one and the previous Pepsi. This one tells an interesting story. It seems like the can is taking the photo of the photographer :)

Excellent B/W decision here. In the color original the color of the camera cameraman's face and hand are distracting from the story. The hard, strong, black of the can really punches, while all the other blacks are softer, more obscure. Another great job from DJN.

I have a question.. hope this is the right place for it: most of your shots have an exposure bias one way or the other. Is this because you are using the histogram as a guide? Thanks, David

Thanks everyone.
Dave C: I yes, tend to use the histogram to judge the exposure for an image, hence the adjustment to most of them.
