Thank you Jackie. =) In hind sight it seems I should've left the finger out of the shot. Lessons learned!

Pretty good picture. I think it would have been a bit better with out the finger in the top left corner.

I'm not sure how to rate this, but even without a title it was pretty self-evident so I guesss it's a pretty good job.

Ofcourse I miss some writing inside the ring. Otherwise good shot with nice sharpness.

Like this image. Only two things that I would have changed if possible. A smoother, meatier looking ring would probably have been ideal, but that's a nit-pick. The finger is what could easily be changed and bugs me. It's not exactly that this image shouldn't have any fingers in it, but it/they need context. I would have prefered either no fingers or more than one - or possibly a shot of the entire hand over a patch of grass or something. But that's a completely different shot - for this one, no finger would probably been the easiest.

I love the texture of the hand, the stuff on it, and the black borders really bring the movie look home. Good job!

Good idea, not quite sure about the execution. Needs a little more about it to really stand out.
