This is my favourite.... congrats on the soon to be 2nd place. I didn't actually vote... (soooo many photos to vote on... ugh) or maybe I could've helped this photo be 1st! Love the contrast, the detail. The hands almost seem like they're reaching out of the photograph! The hands seem a little centered in the photograph. I probably would have cropped out a bit at the bottom (which would probably make it a square photo) or changed the composition when shootings to put the hands reach the bottom of the frame. All in all... still my favourite and congrats on the ribbon.
the subject, background, tones, lighting, composition, texture, post-processing everything work very very well together. well done and congratulations.
Congrats on your first ribbon and new personal best! :)
You mean to say first yellow:) Thank You!
Well It's my first winning entry by using my new 400D.
Thanks to all the voters & commentators for their kind support.The camera really inspired me to go out & shoot for DPC.
