I'll be honest and say that I do not totally understand the concept. There's probably a deeper meaning than what I am thinking. But what I do love about this is that the hands are so prominent and almost in your face. Excellent focus and lighting. And I love how this looks in black and white. This is a beautiful photo.
I think the fact that you can't see the arms here creates a very cool effect like the hands are just floating in space. This looks nice in black and white
Personally I wish the candle was a more prominent part of this shot. There are a lot of technical aspects that I really like but the composition just doesn't resonate with me as a shot depicting peace. It's like the fingers are overwhelming somehow and I don't know how they connect with peace as much as the candle does.
The detail in the hand is beautiful, the black and white medium was a good choice. I also like how your subject fills up the whole picture and the horizontal lines do a good job at leading my eye inward.
