It´s not arthritis, I was born with that hands.... for real I am not able to stretch my hands straightly. As soon as I try to stretch them they look like this. I learned to live with that

Oh I am so sorry for my seemingly insensitive remarks. I didn't realize you were serious. I can make my fingers look like that when I am playing around. Your hands are not creepy...they are beautiful because they are uniquely you

Oh no, no problem, don´t worry As I said, they only look like this if I try to straight or stretch them, most of the times people don´t realize that they are not normal And my family and friends don´t mind ....
Thank you!

So this is a very belated critique for Mocris , given in congratulations for participating in this year's DDSuggestionDrive . I must apologise it's taken so long for me to get round to this, with Easter being early this year it's completely wiped out my April schedule. 

It was very difficult for me to choose which of your work to look at as you have such a varied oeuvre. Whilst I was really taken with your photographic macro studies (the butterflies in particular) I know next to nothing about the technical aspects of taking such pictures, so it seemed a bit pointless for me to say anything about them

I settled on this piece in the end as of your other work it immediately caught my eye and was one I kept returning to as I browsed your gallery. So I thought I'd try and talk about why, and let that stand hopefully as a satisfactory crit of what you've produced here.

Reading the comments below I'm agree completely with the sense that it's unusual to find something that combines the feels of 'warmth' and 'creepy' that you've achieved here. I'm inclined to agree with Fran-Photo that it's the shape of your fingers that does the trick The way you've posed them, combined with the play of the light across them are what give the piece it's atmosphere for me. It is indeed very 'witchy', speaking to something I think will resonate with most people thanks to the various fairytales that involve witches and ovens/fires. Was this then an intentional thing on your part? I'd never really thought about it until I started writing this but the combination of fire and fingers does (certainly for me anyway) conjure the image of witchcraft more reliably than pretty much any other combination I can think of. It's neatly done and with (far as I can tell?) no further manipulation of the image?

I also like the use of the wall as background. It's better than a smooth surface, adding interest to the piece without detracting from the main focus. 

I'm not entirely certain I can suggest anything really that would improve the piece beyond a few aesthetic things that I might have done differently myself, such as a different holder for the candle (or indeed a different candle altogether). Possibly the addition of a halo effect of some sort? Though I'm not entirely certain how this would be introduced. Certainly from a framing point of view it would be hard to trump what you have done here.

So I think that's it. Do feel free to give me a shout if you'd like to know anything further? Or if you want me to expand on any of the above. Cheers and congratulations once again

Thank you so much! You can´t imagine how valuable this comment is to me. Very appreciated.
Yes, the setting was intentional. I know that my hands/fingers look creepy, was told that more than once, and I thought, in combination with fire it could look interesting. The rest of the requisites, like the holder of the candle and the background was what I had at home...

Thank you so much, I am so happy with this!

Glad that my words were of help  

I think some of the best art is created with what you have to hand, and this piece is a true testament to that

Cheers sweetheart

I love conjuring movie! so was you recalling some demon there?

Mocris In reply to DraakeT [2016-01-21 15:12:55 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, yes, I have some kind of witch fingers... very flexible... don´t hurt yourself trying! I know, that not everybody is able to.

I don´t know this conjuring movie, is it a horror movie? And my demon, who says that it was a demon? Maybe it was somebody else.... but you know, that things must remain a secret!

Thank you, you always make me laugh....
