We're always trying to reach for something but it seems we hardly ever make it. I personally like the traces of light coming from your fingers and the fact you decided to darken all the surrounding area.
This will be featured on my next journal!

thanks man, big ole dark room, one strong but small source of light(a garden light) and relatively low exposure.

I rather like this one! Where did you place the source of light to light up both inside hands? (I mean without any of it or of the background for that matter showing)?

i took this pic horizontally and flipped on its side in photoshop
i used a garden halogeon light for lighting. shot it in a long room in the pitch black darkness with a low exposure so all u can see is my hands.
glad u like it

What are you reaching for? This is definately a strong emotional photo. It's screaming...pretty damn loud.
It also could mean so many different things to so many different people.
Congratulations on a successful conceptual photo :]
The only critique I have is the font near the bottom. It looks mspaint-ish & your photography is definately beyond that calibur of work

Great use of light and I love the motion shown. Very well done. I think the framing is perfect.

The frame looks right to me.

I wish the hands were less centered....I'd move them down-left, to give a sense of motion. Not sure if you mean that sort of framing, or the wooden box sore though

always worth it to keep experimenting - even if you hate the result, if you can set aside personal feelings and analyze it, you learn from what went wrong.....

Wonderful photograph! I think the framing is perfect, and its simplicity is elegantly excellent.
Cheers.

i think its simplicity is its strength in this makes the motion of the hands more powerfull looking, ver very cool pic.

I like this sooo much! I cant express ,But its so neat

Ive always found adding captions or titles on the actual piece kills it. Gives the game away straight away. You have to make the viewer work to get the true meaning of the photo. Or sometimes the real beauty of art is that there is no "real" meaning and most of the enjoyment comes from trying to figure it out, or make up your own meaning.
Dont get me wrong, its an amazing shot. Im not too sure on the blur marks on the tips of the fingers. Kinda looks like the hands are withdrawing rather then reaching for something. It'd look alot better with a white frame.

Great photo indeed!!!
And I like the way it is framed, why are you not convinced about it?
π: 0 β©: 1
i think the frame weakens the overall image, but im not sure i might keep it this way, it seems to be gettin a good response set out like this ,thank u for your comments and the fave

In my opinion it is a good frame. I usually don't like very much frames, but with photos with a completely black background a light frame can drive the sight.
You're welcome!
