wonderfull~! i absolutly love it~! It is absolutly amazing how much feeling there is in this photograph~! the way the hands are gripping the tool, and the way the other hand is assisting is amazing~! i can't really explain how i feel about this photo, but i truley hope you get the blue~! well, from what i have seen so far, which i think last time i checked was 60% of the photos i voted on, so you can be prety confident~! wonderfull work~!
8 - Met the Challenge (I consider hands in this 'trade' a definite tool - thus I see at least 2 toolS). This photograph has a certain 'feel' to it that I can't describe sufficiently; a little dramatic, or intense - not sure. I think it is the sepia? effect, can't quite place it. Criticism; I would like to see that forearm either more focussed (though I know that the hand on the left may be 'lost' then) or perhaps it cropped a little tighter there at the bottom. Also, more of the hands, on the right and the left, in the frame would make this a better picture in my opinion. Good character in this photograph.
A very strong image. I would have cropped this a lot tighter - cutting off everything from the right wrist down & leaving almost no space just above the head.
The hands & the clay head have so much power to them!
I think, for composition, you could lose the bottom 15% of the image (up to where the cloth starts having texture). It does not really contribute, and the high values keeps trying to steal my attention, Otherwise very nice 8.
