Composition/Content: are both done very well. just make sure the fingernails are spotless.
Lighting: A bit more light on the cross would make this better.
Background: the black shirt really makes the hands pop out at me. nicely done
Camera Work/Technical: I think using an apeture of F8 wouldve kept that one little hot spot on the finger from showing up. also if you had used more light you couldve increased the shutter speed. Digital Processing: Color tones look great and the image is clear.
My Opinion: I think this is a technically excellent photograph. I like the subject and the colors. I like the depth of the image. This image definately shows talent and technique. DPC likes bright well lit photos so keep this in mind if your going for the blue. congrats on getting in the top 10. pay attention to little minor details like lighting and the fingernails and you'll have the blue in no time!

beautiful remake, love the b&w, nice sharp focus, clean background, good lighting, composition and crop, I think the only thing that could have helped would be to light the right side a little more to even it out
