The busy hands of one of the school pupils I teach - I was taking some shots for a display and remembered the challenge. Monochromed, cropped, levelled.

Great image! One of my favorites in this challenge. Love the motion blur. Nice interpretation of "work", but is that really how she makes a living? :-)
The lighting and exposure are nicely done here. The motion in her hand is interesting because it doesn't look like she's writing, but that's a small pick. Overall, well done.
When I first saw this shot, I did not like the blurriness of the hand, but looking at it now I think the shot would have been boring and static without it. I like how the paper is cropped out of the frame as well. Nice angle & perspective.
Perhaps it would have been more realistic if whe had actually written half the page and the hand movement was a little less..
Nice overall composition..6
