Connection with challenge theme: strong, obvious, concrete.
Technical: No glaring deficits. The focus, detail, tonal range, and color are adequate.
Artistic: Here's where I would deduct some points. Overall I think you chose a strong subject for this entry, as the beckoning finger has obvious implied authority. I feel though that the white backdrop and tight crop of the hand does not have enough visual impact. Perhaps if you told more of the story, by including a face, or a second subject who is on the receiving end of the finger, this entry would draw more interest.
Great long, elegant lines in this hand. The curve on the ring really complements that. I don't like the color of the background. I am unsure what color would be better, but white diminishes rather than showcases your subject. Great concept, creative and interesting.
I must sya that is an usual looking hand there. When I cover up the fingers it resembles a pale liver. The ring is interestin, but I do not see what it adds. And when that is the case it is only detracting. I might say the same about your chosen frame. Be well and be sure to get nie and full at Thanksgiving. (5)
