This is one of the hardest setups i have tried. Four flash exposures and a piece of black paper were used in this. Two for the skeleton hand i had - one full and one covered with the pinky put to the side, and the same for the hand (different flash output used to create the "ghost" effect).
Not entirely happy with the result - i missplaced the tops of my fingers just slightly but i couldnt be bothered to re-do it again to get it perfect. Let's hope it doesnt pull the score down
Post processing
Raw conversion
Burn out of black background and slight burn of hand area to darken it a bit more.
Healing of line down the partition from the sixth finger
Clone out of hot pixels
Gradient map with both ends black and the middle white (played around to get desired effect)
Cooling filter overlayed
Hope this does ok - not sure how it will be received.

I'm not sure what to say here. It's definitely an interesting image, but I don't like how blurry and blotchy it is. Plus it looks like the fingers and bones don't match up.
