Deep Thoughts:
Inspired partially by the technological possibilities portrayed in the Matrix played a large part in this shot but shooting something directly related to the film, seemed to go exactly against the philosophy behind the story. "A place without rules and controls, borders or boundaries" is what my interpretation of the Matrix came down to. "Free your mind".
Tech notes:
Trying to find an x-ray image of a hand on the internet to download into and display within my palm pilot for this shot was the tricky part.
Hue/Saturation chanels and curves were modified to achieve the final result.
Shot with Sigma 28-70 2.8 EX DF lens @51mm.

Thanks everyone, Please forgive me for getting back so late. I really respect and appreciate the time you have all taken to share your comments. Thank you for the generous votes and support. It means allot!
Great shot Mike. Congrats. The clarity of your work is second to none. I've gotta say, you are one of my favorite photographers here and Valor in particular is one of the best shots I've seen here. Is there a tutorial for that shot?
Nice trick, nice photo, nice scoring - and you didn't get a single '1' (which is really rare). Two 3rd's, one 2nd - what's next - another 2nd or are you going straight for the top?
Creative idea. Don't understand the Red Note since i pretty much figured out how you did this. Nice shot, good composition, good choice of B&W., you lost it a bit though on the hand to the right of the handheld. Are you that whacky guy from Ottawa by any chance? :) 7
maybe you should've loaded a photo of binaries or codes to "represent" your fingers on your PDA, it would make the photo more "matrix" instead of saying "xray"
LOL, somebody thought this was illegal? The only thing is the xray fingers aren't positioned right (too far into the palm area). Very cool and creative anyway!
awesome. I absolutely love this - DPPrints for sure. I think I've given 4 10s out of about 1500 votes up until now. make it 5. Brilliant idea (I don't care if you didn't make it up yourself, it's still cool), and nice execution. 10.
I really like this! It's clever, creative, the use of color within the b&w really makes it stand out. Even the bones are lined up with the fingers! It's certainly futuristic and an original idea for the challenge. I dont really see any negative points. Well done!
