Challenge: Words (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: University of Malta, Msida, Malta
Date: Jul 12, 2004
Aperture: 13
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/160
Date Uploaded: Jul 12, 2004

I meant to spell the word 'Words' yet the fifth guy did not show up. So just spelt 'word' thanks to Steve, Robert, Sandro and Keith. Also meant to take a more interesting shot of this but it was too hot to last more than two minutes outside. Post-Processing: Cropping, Sharpening and adjusted Brightness and Contrast.

Good concept but I don't know how many people can make any sense of this.

Neat... I'm not sure if it would be better with all the hands in focus, but I do find the front pair to be a little distracting being out of focus. Neat idea, and well done.. You've obviously got four very patient friends there!

Fun and creative idea! Would have like it even better if all the hands had been in focus. Also slightly more cropping off on the right might have improved composition. 7

I had a simalar idea (but fewer hands available) and I'm glad to see someone thought of this. Your DOF is off, though, you need to bring the image completely into focus, and you might have done better to spread out the signs, it looks very busy right now, and hard to read. It's also kind of confusing since some hands are aiming in totally different directions.

to me it meets the challenge well, others will mark you down. Nice interpretation and glad you took the chance.

Excellent idea. DOF could use a little work and I wish I knew what it says. I'll check remarks after the challenge.

I can't figure out the word the hands are trying to spell out.

Great pic and title.... i feel more DOF would make this better.

interesting... the challenge says to use words as a part of the photograph, I hope these are real sign words for the deaf.. I like it but feel it doesn't quite fit the challenge still worth a 5 though good picture
