For some reason, I seem to always make my wifes hands look like theyre from frankenstein. I cant figure what is causing this as I would think they would be well lit. Here is an example. I had this happen before in a pic and someone commented that it looks like she smokes 2 packs a day so now I cant stop looking at her franken fingers. :lol:

Look at her right hand. This is SOOC.

Don't let the light shine down the back of her hand, move it so it's pointed more directly at her hand. Or have her curl her fingers a tad as it'll tighten the skin on the back of her hand.

BTW I think you're seeing things that no one else in the world would see. :) Great shot, next time don't use a black shirt as the belly gets lost in the shadows.

I don't think the high ISO helps the look of them either...
