 This was taken at Myrtle Hill Memorial cemetery in Tampa, FL, at almost dusk. I had been wondering around looking for interesting headstones when this giant set of praying hands caught my eye.
Only minor adjustments; crop. levels and bumped up saturation by a couple points. Then resized for web.

This is my first entry to DPChallenge, so wish me luck!

Kool, the hands seem to stand out more than the rest of the tombstones, while the lighting gives it the affect the sun is rising.

Very nice composition with the white hands dominating the scene. It is tilted a bit, though.

Good subject. I love the how the angle hands points in the angle of the ground. Nicely done.
