    This is the wrong angle IMO....though i DO like the fact that you are experimenting with different angles. You cannot really tell what this shot is from this angle. I might have tried this same low angle but from the front side of the 'bucket'.

    Also the top part of the photo is way too dark (like 1-2 stops too dark)

    Hope that helps

    i agree to the underexposure.... it makes the upper portion of the picture irrelevant... maybe crop some out for this one... great idea and tough shot to expose...

    I don't know if you have one, but a GREAT buy is a small reflector. here's a pic of one that i used in a podcast about reflectors http://www.photography.ca/blog/wp-co...-30-image4.jpg

    You MAY have been able to use it in this shot to illuminate the top part...

    lol.... i was thinking this as well but thought it would be tough using a reflector under such close quarters... I was gonna suggest using a candle... but I guess it depends on how much exposure the author of the picture desires because the frame is artistic...

    Another option would be a diffused, off-camera flash to image right, aimed roughly parallel to the line of 'teeth'.

    On a side note, I think that is a really creative angle that you used. Your like me, not afraid to get a little dirty to get the shot you want. Great effort!!
