I tried to combine the act of touching with the texture theme and I'm not sure that I was successful.
Picture was taken with 60mm macro lens, converted to B/W and contrass enhanced. It's the first time I used NeatImage to remove noise and I was quite impressed.

Simple but very nice. I like the lighting and the composition, which work together with the DOF to direct the attention to the most revealing part of the hand; the pads beneath the fingers. 7
Ah! the first black and white I've seen on this contest, and I must say, it serves it's purpose quite well! I think it has a full range of colors from black to white... it's very clean and defined where it's supposed to be... etc... very good, I like :-)
What works: the diagonal placement of the hand and the lighting of the part of the palm just below the fingers.
What doesn't seem to work: DOF seems a bit shallow. Seems a bit underexposed despite a couple of hot spots. The corners are a bit dark. It could be that it is too much of a closeup.
This site has a lot of people who are really good at photographing palms of hands, I think you talented folk are ready to start a new field of photography! Think about it! You could do palm-portraits of rich people (maybe their pets too if they're really rich) Why you could even do candid palm shots, or palm landscapes! Dont waste your talent get started today!!
