this was taken in front of my window in the basement.. i liked how the light interacted with the complex texture of the palm.. i adjusted curves, and desaturated, sharpened and voila!...i was going to go with a sephia tone but i decided i like the straight B&W better...

Frankly, your photo was by far the best in this contest...if I had had more votes you would have won ;)
Great job! fantastic light, and the texture of the image is perfectly in keeping with the theme of the contest!!
The texture shows up nicely...especially in the foreground, but I find all of the bands of light a little too distracting. Too bad there weren't only two of three of them.
Incredible closeup of a hand. Incredible details of the texture of the hand itself. Love the way you choose to light this composition. Seems to separate the segments of the fingers all the way down the hand. Would love to see a version of this without all the details in the hands. The abstract lighting is great. "8"
I highly commend you on this shot as I tried taking some photos of the textures on my hand and just couldn't manage to get it right. On top of doing that very well you added the interesting touch of the striated light. Very artistic. 10
So awesome, the angle and the lights, all perfect 10. It looks petrified and sparkly at the same time. The picture is beautiful truly, done by a real artist for sure
Selection of B&W is good. Great concept but the image appears to have been over focused. This was probably done to bring out the image texture but may have been overdone a little.
Good shot. Mono works well, light is excellent, positioning of the hand in that light suggests the work of the vorticist movement, or of monumnetal sculpture. Slightly extreme, would be my only detraction - other than that I don't actually like the image all that much.
