the backround seems akward...i don't care much for using flash, partly because it makes the backround seem so much darker without having it totally fade... i like the idea...the shot could use some improvement though...
nice take on the challenge. I just want to point out a few small details that would have made it better for me. Less yellow/gold background color, the thumb is missing some polish and the ring on her thumb is odd. Also I wanted less crop on the top of the photo.
The background is quite unfortunate. The message is good and fits the challenge. She could have better manicure. I also don't know what is this black thing on her thumb? Also the belt and the sleaves are distracting. Bare hand would've work bett IMHO.
the paint job, on the thumb nail is only half done, and there is a little piece of thread across the finger, the photo is good though, nice exposure, and composition, and the idea is good, well done
