 My first attempt at a semi-macro shot of hands. I used a fair amount of post-processing to bring out the detail in the hands (and do a little desaturation), while maintaining the original apple. Unfortunately a lot of detail in the hands was lost when I scaled it down for DPC (it was too small to restore), but I'm still pretty happy with it!

I like the gritty hands in contrast with the sheen of the apple. Nice work!

Female hands was more appropiate to the theme.

Hands are too grungy for it to be tempting. I would have went for a "lily white hands" approach. Just me.
