As you might have found out, the hard part in this kind of shot is the focus of two distant planes (the hand and the sign), this can be achived by configuring the lens aperture and the exposition time, in order to flatten the planes and being able to get both in focus.
I think this is the first trick photo every child tries with their first camera. You did a super job of keeping every thing if approximately same focus. Not real clear but not that bad either. Shame hand not clearer.
I understand your illusion, but the 'wow' factor on this photo is minimal... in this particular photo, the focus is quite soft throughout the image... some of the surroundings here could be considered distracting and 'busy' as well... - setzler
