Found a good sized Appollo Landing photo on the internet and photographed my thumb with it in front of the computer screen. Used a desk lamp for appropriate directional lighting on my hand. Crop, rotate, levels, usm, resize, spot burning and dodging on my hand to better match the lighting conditions.

I think a bit more light on the camera side of the hand would help this look like it had a bit more depth. The almost-sihouette makes it look kinda flat.
Hehe
I think it's always funny in the moon landing pictures when the light is only coming from one way yet the American flag is ALWAYS lit up, even if it is in the shadows...

Gets the point across, but doesn't strike me as terribly original. I'd have liked to see something like this with the directors 'cut' thing that I don't know the name for. On the other hand, no pun intended, I do like the consistant lighting between the photo and your hand so the detail is there.
