i think i might be prepared to guess who this is, Mr Alci. even if i'm wrong, it certainly has that very particular style which for bodily pictures works very well. i love the tones you've used (not quite sepia, kind of green aren't they?) and as per the norm, it all works very well. the only slight criticism is that it appears a slightly over liberal use of neatimage (or similar) has been applied in the region of the hand. still, a very dramatic, tense and attention grabbing shot. 8.
Stunning- wonderful sepia tone too. I like how the image fills a diagonal space from one corner to the other and the opposite two corners are filled with negative space.
Great, theres just one thing that looks strange on my monitor.
The fingers look sharp but the hand looks blurred, not out of focus but blurred.
Strange...
Great shot but whats going on with the upper hand? Why is it so smooth compared to the rest of this rough image? That alone is very distracting though the pic and lighting is great. 7.
I like the mood you've set with the low key lighting... top of hand looks odd (could be my monitor or perhaps a bit too blurry?) Certainly different subject -- thanks for providing it.
The glistening skin of the shoulder, neck, and fingers is excellent, but there's something weird going on with the back of the hand. Both the alien blurry texture and the unnatural shadow boundary of the hand detract a lot from an otherwise superb photo - 5
I've been doing a lot of toned black and whites lately, so I know how hard it is to get the contrast and exposure just right. This looks fantastic. The back of the hand seems a little fuzzy, but that may be from the conversion to a dpc sized jpeg. I'm not sure what the final score will be, but I'm thinking 7-8 range.
