That's a 1 Million Candle-Power Spotlight underneath my hand. The thing gets hot enough to burn... I used 3 Cokin Filters : (in "P" holder) Star-4, Pastel-2, and Red-003. Added saturation and contrast in RAW conversion. Lowered the blacks in PS, did some cropping as well.

I've done this before -- it's tricky to get a good exposure. One rick is to use a young child -- I have a shot of my son's hand where the bones show pretty distinctly.
This is so amazing. I would have rejected this idea if it had entered my mind because I would have thought it wouldn't turn out but this couldn't be any better. 8
This is a pretty neat picture. I like the reddish color and the red glow around the hand. It wasn't what I pictured being dramatic, but since when am I ever the authority on what is and isn't dramatic. Very nicely done - Inspzil
