No, those hands do NOT look masculine! It is a well-thought out and well-executed photo. The position of the hands is GREAT! It looks like a woman thinking about her absent man......
woohoo! this was one of the best shots in the challenge, in terms of lighting, design, and 'nailing' the challenge (pun slightly intended). I gave it an 8. I'm sure it offended a lot of people. Good work!
But I take the point, you have to be obvious about these things. I keep my nails short because I use the computer so much. I never dreamed my fingers looked male... they're not hairy or anything, and it's only by coincidence (I didn't plan it) that you can't see either of the rings I wear on that hand. Oh well.
The flesh tones mixed with the chrome and white and black are good, but I think the image might have been a little stronger with the adition of red fingernails.
Nice shot -7. In my top 10. Just a tad "too white" for me, eg see crease at bottom right of "monument" that might not show normally, and hand gets a little distorted in color.
This photo fails to touch on lust. Sex sure. Lust no. Women do not LUST after a dildo or vibrator. As for the photo... a sensuous touch on this object is suggestive, so that's good. The composition is nothing to right home about.
Beautiful. My only comment to make this better, would be that the hand reaching for the um..subject. (lol) shoud have the nails painted to represent that it is a girl. I NEVER paint my nails, and I'm a girl, but I think that it would enhance this photo somewhat. This screams lust. I think it is a great idea, non offensive, and straight to the point. If this doesn't say lust, I don't know what does. Excelent shot. 9 Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
Nice evenly white background (something I have yet to accomplish). I wonder if the composition wouldn't be more pleasing with the hand closer to the top 1/3 of the monument. 8 Lisa
Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background 9, Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing 7 , Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc.? 7 , Total Averaged Rating 8 . I think the lighting is over exposed smshats
I knew at least one person was going to go here. At least this is tasteful to an degree and not containing any assosciated body parts (if you know what I mean). Nice shiny reflection.
Not sure about this one. I'd presonally like to see a woman's hand. That would have gotten my mind racing, instead of thinking "bend over big guy". Just my $.02. 7
Great idea. Possibly the highlights are a little too blown even for a high key image (I'm looking at the mottling in the skin tones in particular here)? But that's just being picky as I didn't notice it on first viewing...
This is a little on the edge for this site, not that I'm all against it. Is that a man's hand touching it? That's more ironic than anything. The photo is well taken. The composition here is making wonder a little though. The man's hand is kind of grainy, but the "thing" seems pretty darn focused and smooth. I wonder if that's a function of color and reflectivity more than anything. Good shot.
