this fischer projection shows the lowest priority group (hydrogen) pointing at you. Remember that when determining if R or S, the lowest priority group must always be in back. When you encounter a frischer projection with the lowest priority group in front, the R/S value you determine for the carbon will always be the opposite.

hope this helps 👍
