I've tried these kind of shots before and they are hard to get right. I find the striped shirt a little distracting and the light is a bit harsh coming from above. If your cameral allows it, using a slow flash with a long exposure can be effective as it provided a sharp, in focus view of the hands in addition to some transparency and movement
Very interesting idea and nicely executed! Too bad that you're score will get killied for submitting a duotone to a B&W challenge. Ironically, I don't think the tint helps the photo either. 6
