Hand out of focus with an interesting backdrop of briars and sky. Adjusted white balance, contrast, color, vignette, definition. Going for a glassy colorful painted look.

WOW! I don't know what to say, but thank you :D
It was a fun image to shoot and PP!
A big thanks to all the jurors for taking the time and trouble to do this!
Congratulations on your yellow ribbon from the juried part of this challenge. I loved this (gave it an 8) and am very happy to see it appealed to the jurors.
@ ancientimages: No probelm :) I focused on the rose hips in the background and brought my hand in close to the camera. The bleeding edge around the fingers was there in the exposure from being out-of-focus but I also brought up the definition and contrast which helped bring out the glassy look.
@ EstimatedEyes: There is no intended religious association with the rose hips on the palms, purely artistic.
7 - Like the concept, would like to see more of the 'hand painting' (OOF fore berries/hips on hand) and perhaps a less 'horizontal framing' - just seems unbalanced, especially with the thumb/left side of the image, if you're keeping the fingertips in - but your call.
