I guess you could say the hands themselves are distracting.

I saw this during voting, but wasn't sure if I should comment on the actual hands. I Googled around a bit, because to me unless those were cold or overworked hands, this person may want to see a doctor. Hopefully this isn't a common occurrence. I saw some cases where it's just poor circulation, but there were also some mention of liver disease and whatnot.

Again, I hope these hands were just cold after some good hard work.

Was it cold? Those hands are so red it looks like they are frozen.

Nice image - Maybe better in B/W as the pinkyness of the hands I find a little distracting?

sorry, too blurry for me - is it the processing?
It looks blurry, but when I concentrate I can't see any blur.
Odd.
