I really like the detail in the hand - Hey I can even see the grime under the nail ;) I also like that there is no desk showing - that it's close enough in that the exam paper makes the whole of the background and yet it's actually foreground at the same time! Also like the way the (2) on the pencil is so carefully positioned. 6, Kavey
So true, so true. I could see this hanging in a classroom. Lighting and angle are both very nice. Definateley has originality. I have to wonder though what you do for a living. The tips of your fingers look like thay have worked very hard toward something. (I hope it wasn't this test. LOL). It adds a bit of mystery to this photo for me. The dark area that your hand makes is very dark, but I don't think I would change it because you would have to change the positioning of your hand, and then it just wouldn't be the same. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
