I really likeed this entry - the technicals are outstanding and it is clean and simple - typically great for DPC. I think the area where this one fell down for the voters is the lack of story. The top shots all had a significant story tied to them. I think we all want to be detectives and figure out the crime at some level....
OMg! An amazing picture, the fingerprint an the magnifying glass are well in focus and positioned correctly. But what about the hand! The tones are of, it recognisably blurry, it looks like it only has 3 fingers, and the positioning is all wrong!
Left half of the photo: 7/10
right half: 4/10
overall: 6/10
A simple yet effective photo. It is difficult to believe that anyone would leave their fingerprint on such a white background. So the picture is only slightly unbelievable. I like the lighting on the hand.
I appreciate the simplicity of this photo and the attention to detail. The composition utilizes the rule of thirds well, and you have created interest with the angles and the shadows. I'm also impressed by how clearly you captured the print through the glass. The only thing that bothers me is the color of the hand seems a little red, and I feel like a gloved hand may have been more appropriate.
