Instead of the "tried and true" face shot, I decided to go for the hands. Also, I know I don't have perfect smooth skin or well manicured hands, hence the title. I'll probably bomb in the voting, but that's alright. Can't wait to hear comments. =-D

Hey! Erin, out of 222 it came out 135....not very bad...as you were afraid of ;)
From my part...I always thought for any portrait images...if you are not interested in showing full face.....at least show your mouth or nose or eyes....that's how I love portriats :)
Anyway...your skin texture is not that smooth over here.....but hands are alright...but it would be better if there was some long nails :D
