my hand with pi projected upon it. I cut pi into a sheet of newspaper and hung it from a rack with the light behind it. tried chest, eye, back, and decided hand looked best. Converted to B&W with channel mixer, then curves to provide grayish tone.

This is quite cool. Perhaps there is a bit too much going on in it though. The layered elements dilute one another, so the overall impact isn't strong.
What works so well for me here is that the fingers are being used as kind of a proxy radius for the drawn circle, so it really is the hand of pi. Nice work! The ring distracts me a bit, as I can't see a clear connection to pi (though there is a connection to the finger!). The illumated pi on the back of the hand is a nice touch; I like how it is over exposed, giving it an unearthly feel. The image as a whole confuses me only slightly, since the image doesn't really convince me that a hand is the best communication of pi, though it seems to be a natural one. Does that make sense? Anyway, very nice work. High marks from me.
Very good idea. I think maybe the lighting of the pi sign on the hand is a little harsh. It really doesn't stand out as a pi sign because the light is "run" together.
Really interesting idea although I can't figure out how you did it. The rest of the picture seems a little underexposed, but perhaps that was done intentionally.
This is the first pic I have ever commented on, I recently found this site. Just wanted to say the pic caught my eye because I can't figure out how you did it. I like the b/w. It is sorta simple, sorta not. Anyway, I like it.
