    Personally I really like it. The photo is very clear, so clear even you can see the fingerprint on the other lens of the glasses lol.

    One of the things I liked was how the plane of focus visible on the concave sunglasses lens enflates objects, the laptop distortion is obviously appereant, but check out how gigantic my (right) hand looks! Funhouse mirror effect.

    Wow you are right. I didnt even notice that. I did notice the sort of distortion on the laptop side but its not much of a distortion where your left thinking 'what is that?'
    I forgot to mention also how cool it is you can see the density of the surface of the table as well.

    Did you try to take a photo like this without you holding the camera and its out of view? That would be a cool sunglasses ad..lol

    Cool shot!!!!!!!!!! I love it as is, but you could even play with a few crops to give it an even more artsy edge. Great exposure. A model in a bikini as the photographer (sorry, you've been outsourced!) would add a twist

    Thank you so much for the compliment. It does like llike a Photoshop effect or something, but it was a very simple (sort of nicely random) handheld shot with my Sony + Tamron macro lens.
