A study in hands

[gsmx2]

Does the DOF work for you or is it distracting.

Well OK with the DOF .. but your hands overpower the image IMHO. The child is where my eyes want to settle -- the juxtaposition of the hand sizes does not work for me. No -- give me a shot the child and I would be happier.

Otherwiase a peacful image.

Great concept !! It just did not work Fully here IMO. But it is something to keep working at.

Just an idea and I suppose, agreeing with previous post, this might have worked better if the child's hand was right over and partially obscuring the adult hand thus bringing the baby back into the centre of the idea/composition and mainaining the link between child and adult. Excellent idea.

Thanks for posting
