Another overlooked photo. This was my favorite of this challenge. It's very artistic and very nicely done.

i love this shot. there's nothing i would change about it. it's got a great feel to it. good work.

Takes the ordinary and meets the challenge. Good points. Would like to see the entire hand in view and more dof. But I like it.

Interesting, the lighting works. I find the focus on the fingers distracting. 5

I'd have shot this against an all-dark background so as to not "lose" the thumb on the left.
07/26/2002 05:08:00 PM
Needs more depth of field.

very nice texture... i think a little deeper depth of field to bring the whole hand in focus against the blurred background would be really nice :) = 7 - jmsetzler

this is a good idea, and while i'm torn whether i like the out of focus fingers or not, i'm starting to like them. what i find distracting in this shot is the background. specifically the white area above the thumb and the black area between the ring and small finger. if you could have taken this in front of a plain background (even just holding some cardboard behind the hand) you would've gotten a few more points from me. creative idea though. -- gr8photos (5)

A very sandy handy! Black and white is definately the way to go for texture shots.
07/26/2002 08:08:00 AM
Only my opinions, but the cut off thumb is a little distaracting as is the bright space immediately behind the thumb.
07/26/2002 08:07:00 AM
This would have been great if you could have achieved the black and white hand while still maintaining a color background. DOF effect is nice. 7 nards656

6 but stop with the b&w please

I liked this the minute I saw the thumbnail. Your focus could of been better this is just not sharp. Still like I said I find it attractive and interesting. KEE

Distracting background
07/25/2002 11:11:00 AM
Cool Picture dude..Shake it up!!!
07/24/2002 12:32:00 PM
Interesting use of DOF though I'm not sure if you want the centre of focus to be the palm or the fingers. If it's the fingers then they should have been in focus
07/24/2002 11:24:00 AM
ah the beach. i like the way you've done the focus. works as a cool black and white too

Total Score7

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

cool shot, though i wish the middle finger wasn't out of focus. a little more dof maybe?
07/23/2002 03:20:00 PM
This is fun. This is the texture of childhood. Get your hands into everything just to FEEL the different textures.
07/23/2002 05:31:00 AM
Creepy!
07/22/2002 11:18:00 PM
a great way to texture a hand! good lighting and contrast too.
07/22/2002 08:42:00 PM
A kind of unfocused
07/22/2002 08:59:00 AM
soft depth of field really gives this piece some prescence, the contrast on the foreground to the background is interesting also.
07/22/2002 07:33:00 AM
I really like the concept but it seems to bright, eespecially on the middle finger which is out of focus
07/22/2002 02:50:00 AM
wow excelent texture!! eerie!!!!!!

i really like this. the white light/thingy on the left of the thumb is distracting, as is the black spot, but overall the composition is strong. good texture. ~mcmurma
