Awesome photo. :) You've captured the hand texture well with the available light.

Thanks for all your comments...
I am not Katherine or the Puzzle Man
On dust - this picture was taken in our living room in Kabul, Afghanistan, one of the dustiest cities on earth. With that in mind I'm pleased to say the dust in this picture is the dust on our toshak, not on the lens or sensor. That's why I left most of it. I did take out some of the more distracting bits from the dark bottom left corner.

I like the subtle pattern on the surface behind the hand, it ties in very nicely.

Nice detail no the tattoo, I wish it were a bit brighter and maybe had a bit more contrast.

Interesting light and paintings in combination with the background.

great toning, too bad the dust(?) light spots couldn't be elminitated

nice conversion to black and white

Good! I would like to see a little more contrast though.

Smart background, good in black and white.

interesting image. a little mid-tone curves adjustment would enhance the black and white conversion.

Interesting shot. The background makes it even more so. Could have cleaned up the dusties though.

This is cool but I think it would have looked great in color. Nice job though.

Are you the puzzle man? If so, you really like getting your hands dirty :-) Very intriguing shot. Makes me want to stop and look at what is drawn on it. The composition is nice with the negative space, as is the hand position, but I would have liked a little more light on the palm to achieve the level of contrast on the base on the thumb.

needs more sharpening. :) j/k. Awesome photo, one of your best, imo. :)

I like the juxtaposition between her lovely hennaed hand and the swirling flowery background. Simple. This would make a lovely card.

I really like how the background has just a hint of the same motif as the artwork on the hand.

the space at left doesn't add to the image IMO. a squre crop would have brought more impact. Overall a tad too dark.

The background works well with the hand art!

Like what you've done but was trying to brush the dust off my monitor.

I like the background you've chosen, it complements to image well
