Interesting idea. The focus on your left hand has a quick falloff and perhaps a tighter crop onto the hands giving a more trapped feeling. Very nice and creative idea though. Love the positioning of the hands.
A more interesting background would help this photo significantly. If you're going to have your background in focus it needs to somehow support the image's message.
Speaking of message.. what does the shirt say? A t-shirt that the viewer can't clearly read is distracting.
I assume this is a self portrait and that's why one hand is out of focus. It looks like it was a bit too close to the lens. Gotta love the distortion though, heh.
