I'm surprised by the number of entries in this category who've submitted images themed on religion, or snapshots of cars or children. Not original or interesting.
Well done but the shadows are a bit hard, in terms of edges on the wrists. What I like about the shot is that the fingers on the left hand are a bit off center, making the whole thing a bit more "human" somehow. If not for that, the image is too symmetrical for my tastes.
I like your idea, I'm assuming you mean prayer. This photo has a nice, simple look to it that I like, and the b&w does well here, so you can focus on the meaning. I think that the lighting is great, also! Nice work!
Your lighting here is really nice and I like the background because it's not a stark white. I think it's a great choice for black and white and is also well composed. I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer, so this hits an emotional note with me as well. Great job.
The title indicates weakness not strength...what about 'give me strength'? Title aside, this is a fantastically shot pic especially the light and shade and portrait orientation..well done
Mér finnst eins og þessi mynd ætti að heita Sixteen dot dogs eða eitthvað soleis... :D hehe
Þetta er tussumassív mynd einföl og sterk, myndi vilja hafa hana fyrir ofan rúmið mitt, það væri sætt :)
A prayer cliche, though lovely in black & white. Indeed, our true source of strength is in our connection with God through prayer, especially praying with others.
i understand what you're trying to say here, but i interpret this as a sign of weakness, especially with that title. well composed and technically well done, though.
