my first experement with backlighting using the plexi tabletop. 3 lights and a gel, extra sharpening and an overall levels adjustment. i hated the 'no spot editing' business... also my first submission to dpc. what a great @#$%ing site!

Interesting shot, nice texture on hand and great background. Interesting texture contrast. However, the shot leads to other thoughts other than texture.
You've done a good job of texture on the hand. While if it were mine, I'd probably hold back on the saturation button a bit, it isn't mine, it's yours and you've done a good job depicting your take on the subject.
Blatantly dpc-friendly blue background here :-) Well enough lit to show the skin texture, though that of the note suffers and has become very bland. Skin tones are oddly red (maybe that's just you :-)).
