personal preference, but the fingers should have been more natural in color.

The hand looks like it might be from a cadaver. A little spooky, but it meets the challenge appropriately.

Is the hand painted - it has an unusual texture? Interesting idea

Sorry, this hand looks dead - kind of blue...
I's a good idea - the color seems off.

I tried a similar concept to this for this challenge. It's hard to make it work, eh?

This comes close, but the fingers don't look like they're playing the keys, and the framing of the hand is off.
