 Was actually an accidental shot while trying to capture a line of smoke coming from extinguished candle.
In the end the smoke sucked but hand was cool, especially with black shirt against black canvas.

out of focus. It looks like the hand is cut out and placed against a black background.

Detail seems to have disappeared with the duotone treatment. I like the color choice of blue and black, but there is a bit too much brightness in the highlights of the candle holder. Maybe a little less exposure, if you have an exposure adjustment in your camera. Also, if you used long exposure, you might want to have the shutter open less time.

The hand looks almost cutout to me. The edges are...odd somehow. Also, it looks like the hand is floating because the sleeve is as dark as the background, and at first, I thought that was a cup of water as I cannot make out a flame. I do like your duotone color choices though.

Nice comp. I am not sure how I feel about the tones. I almost want to see darker shadows here to sort of blend in with the black baclground.

It's sort of an eerie glow. I like it. 7

in my opinion, the colours are unappealing and 'washed out' - I'm sure this is just a result of adjusting colours for duotone - - I would've like to have seen more details in the hand, candle,...

The hand looks pasted onto a black background
