This had such the promise, but the background really distracts from the image. IT wouldne be so bad with jsut the wood, but the ground/wood combination really failes. Black and white si about contrast -- try this shot again with a darker background (like ALL ground in the abckground).
great contrast of 'old and new' Need to see more of the younger skin to really be effective, and the lighting/ contrast/ exposure needs some work. Could be great.
The low contrast works here, IMO, although I wouldn't mind the blacks just a touch denser and a positive gamma adjustment to bring more area into the lighter range. The one dark area at LL is a little jarring, as the rest of the image is all on one plane. Not a big deal, just though I'd mention it. Good work.
Excellent composition here... The only improvement I could possibly suggest would be to have this on a darker background that would offer a little more contrast between the background and the hands... nice work!
good lighting, better of the hands shots this week. it's grandma's nails that I don't like. Perhaps treating her to a manicure then comparing the grandchilds hand to hers, to see the comparisons would help - just a suggestion. good job.
There is nothing more wonderful than an old person's hands. I guess it is because they mirror all the love and work of a lifetime. Great job on the photo and well framed.
I like the position, but feel somewhat uncomfortable with the washed out look, especially on the youthful hand, which I think should have more texture and contrast. Of course, that's just my opinion. Overall, good job.
I generally have this really stupid prejudice against pictures of hands. I think it is a tough subject to do well. However, the execution here as well as the subject are amazing. This is a commendable effort. Great job!
