Held by the Archbishop Patrick Flores of the San Antonio Catholic Archdiocese. I took this picture with my first Canon A-1. Not digital but I just wanted to show it. It looks like his hands are coming out of nowhere, but it is just because he was wearing a black robe. Comments? :-) ...Bob

I like it, as you said it looks like the hands come out of nowhere and I think the effect is particularly cool.

A good photo of a very important symbol. The "floating" hands are very fitting here because they symbolize the separation of the sin of man from the position of the Archbishop.

Interesting feel. It just seems right though. Not to disrespect the ring or the man holding it. But wouldn't a shot like this with wedding rings be special in it's own right? Perhaps it has been done a million times. But it is intriguing to me.
