oh yeah! color, texture, depth and expression - this is an emotion charged shot. The weather beaten hand is the focal point of the picture and is is sharp focus. the stream of tea? is fluid in motion - the only suggestion is to cut out the top half inch - it is just dead wasted space.
A great concept here. Original and creative for the challenge I think. However, it took me a minute to see it. The boy seems easily missed in all that is going on in the shot. You may be suffering some low votes from speed voters that are not catching it. Perhaps a different angle could make him more prominent and strengthen this image. Focus and exposure are good. I really like the concept, just wish I could see a little more of the boy :-)
What an emotive photograph. The child's face is marvelous. The focus on the hands, the heat swirling, the grime, work pans and glasses...so truly wonderful. 8
