I was doing a photo shoot of my sister (age 16) and she was posing, and I saw her hands cross like this and was like... STOP! Played around with color, and B&W went for the warmer tone of Sepia :-)

Beautiful photo... almost surreal. Great exposure and just the right amount of light... without any real hot spots. Job well done! My only 10 of the challenge.
I like the composition and the use of DoF. If you could have blacked out everything but the hands & arms this would be fantastic.
Lighting and detail on the hands is good, and I do like the overall image.
Would be "Au Natural" had it been in natural skin tones, and would have been worth about 3 or more points over as is. Good composition just needs better execution. PTL
I really like the soft focus on this. I think it creates a mood. The angle and framing/cropping are nice, and I think that the lighting is very good as well. I wish that somehow it were possible to get the bottom half blackened out as well. Although I'm not totally sure about that. With the brown area, it gives it quite a bit of depth, and if it were blackened, that depth might not be there, so I'd have to see it to compare. Otherwise, a very nice shot. Good luck in the challenge.
The title of this shot makes me like it even more. I like the soft feel in this picture, I like the short depth of field, I like the background, I like the cropping. Overall I like this picture! Well done :)
