I don't like that the hand appears to be dark and dirty but the rest of this is very cool. The branch is such a compelling and unexpected addition to the scene.
The arm is a very strange color, which almost looks to me like it belongs to a corpse : / That, paired with unfinished wood, an empty-looking glass, a bare grape vine, and half-melted candles just adds to the "death" theme for me. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for.
interesting set-up...not sure if I would have included the candles...they don't seem to add and they look a bit sloppy (melted sides) and to me it would have been a cleaner set-up without them...that's not to say this isn't well done...
I will have to come back and check, but I think I recognize those candles and the table from another entry in the "above" challenge...so going on a limb again...pederlol?
Interesting tones in this one. Seems to have a cool temperature. The hand seems to also cast a morose tone to the image; the nails are an unhealthy looking color in this light! Interesting idea; I'm curious to see where it will finish.
Interesting perspective you chose. I like the way you processed this, but I'm not sure why you chose two very distorted candles. That ruins the clean lines throughout this image for me.
