 I dressed in black and used two "spots" - black construction paper wrapped around desk lamps - to highlight my hands and the Silk carton. Tub to catch soymilk. Hoping you didn't notice the remote under my index finger.

I think I would have chosen some other item to pour it over. The hand just doesn't add anything to the image.

There's no doubt the hand looks silky smooth but the photo disturbs me a little cos it kinda doesn't make sense. Never mind, I kinda like it.

I like the idea of the 'milk' pouring over something...it does look silky. But I don't think it should've been a hand.

Yuck, that definitely doesn't make me want to drink it. I really like the flow of the milk though! And the way the rest of the arms is hidden. It definitely adds to the photo.
