Thanx, now imagine an elegant woman hand, instead of my hairy one Rolling Eyes
The lens is the Samyang 35

I like the way the contours of your hand distort the shadow lines.

That is exactly what I was thinking of Laughing

Other than that, it is perfect! Though if I have to be picky, maybe more DOF.

I did try different apertures, wide open it was too thin, stopped down made maid the details on the hand even more evident, thus making it uglier. I was a challenge to take hold the camera and take th pic with my left hand. Smile

works perfect in B&W this subject, surly has more impact than in color.

I like everything about this shot, no critics from my side Laughing

Cheers

Agree with Tobias, the BW works well here. It looks like the light could be from the moon and you
are about to change (lycanthropy). Smile

I like the original ! B&W is all about lines,form and texture for me. I agree a feminine hand would be more appealing to me but then I am a man Wink I think anything with complex curves would look good in a shot like this.

I think male hand works better here, because it's powerful
with stripes on, it looks like a jaguar ready to jump
female hand would look more like a cheetah or ocelot Very Happy

I don't mind the slightly more blurry hand in the first photo of the 2nd set.I love the colour in the whiskey bottle.
