the way you worked the background adds unity and proportion to the image. i think it was smart to show the person's face in the background so that the hand isn't just randomly there. great job.
Good concept. I hope you ment to loose detail in the fingers. I like the idea. Also, I just notice the subject's face. That's hard to see since the focus is on the hands, but I really like it. You're drawn to the fingers, but only if you linger on the picture do you see the one.
Good luck. I'm giving you above average score because of the story.
