Through the hands of time

This is a shot taken with black and white film. (Canon Rebel) After processing the print I noticed that the negative was damaged, and had affected the print, making it unusable for class. I love the shot itself, and was advised by my friends here to scan the photo, and fix the damaged areas in photoshop.
Here is the finished product:
(borders added in photoshop to mimic the mounting it would have originally had)
Thanks for looking.

Well done, Cat, I'm glad you were able to save it via technology and your Photoshop skills.

Very nice, Cat. Well done.

Just the right amount of depth of field and just the right shutter speed too to get the movement of the dirt.

this photo reminds me of the poem by William Blake...

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wildflower: Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. -- William Blake

That is a beautiful quote j5uh. It does fit perfectly, thank you!

Thank you again everyone for all the kind words. :D

I like the shot and composition, although if I were taking it I would have included just one hand or would have put the hands together, for some reason I find the two separate hand somewhat distracting.

Thank you for your input Citizen. I hadn't looked at it that way before. Now I think I will try retaking it. Digital, this time. ;)
