 This shot was taken by hand, and includes my finger and my boyf's hand. The background is an A4 printout of a sky. I found it difficult to get the lighting right (trying not to cast shadow on background). Any tips welcome.

This is a nice image. I like how natural and soft the hands in this image look. I also like how you can see the detailed texture of the persons hands. Nice work.

hands are too young but nice idea, you need an old man's hand here in my humble opinion

classic pose, well lit. background maybe would benefit from more blurring with shallower DoF.

Fitting for the challenge. Background gives the impression of "void" which is good. I think I would have reversed the hand positions a little. I see the smaller finger pointing down to a larger hand. If I were to do this shot I might have moved the finger of God a bit closer to make it appear larger, also more light from the "God" side pointing towards the creation of man. Focus is nice.

Nice DOF. Interesting lighting. What I really like is the "glow" in the single finger.

Nice idea - black and white might have looked even better.

You know... I was thinking about trying to recreate a portion of the image of "The Beginning" from Michaelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel as well, but never did it. I like it. :-)

The lighting is a bit harsh on the top finger..otherwise very nice.

Nice image, I like the symbolism here. The image seems slightly oversharpened and may have benefitted from a darker background.
