Part 2 Hand Study

[BlueRob]

Finally after much thought and banal distractions I got a shot to compliment the Hand Study project.
Personally this shot has much more strength than the first one since its my father´s (usual guinea pig ) hand and mine in a strong "grasp".

That is stunning. Skin texture is just so amazing.

Don't know what to say except that I like it. I like how the light fades gradually up the arms.

so very interesting. I love hands, especially palms which I am thinking about doing a set on once I get out from under school stuff (read: end of May).

I love the skin texture and tone. The composition is great. I actually smiled when I saw it which I think that says more than words actually can.

That is a great shot. Not only is it "picture perfect", it's the meaning behind it that grabs my attention. At one time in life the world would revolve around a handshake. How things change. Well done Rob!!

This is a seriously great shot Rob! Excellent conversion to B&W too! Can't think of any way to improve it...

Thanks Frog! ...at a beginning din´t know what to do to make the arms look good, without the shadow they looked chopped...until I got this idea of "fade to black" I ended up liking it a lot , I think it compliments well with the mood and BG

Thanks Nicci, I feel flattered!...knowing that my pic cause or produce a feeling or emotion is the best compliment I could ever get. Thanks!

This "trivial" and "small" things such a hand shake are so underestimated this days all the meaning behind this gesture is almost forgotten...

Thanks a lot Darin for you comments.:thumbsup:

Love it, Rob. Very different but just as simple and keeping with the style and theme of the first. A strong second addition to the developing series.
On your way. . .

Congrats on the feature, Rob. Very well-deserved.
