Comment by aripps:
great concept of importance of texture. color gives effect of gloom that doesn't fit with message

Braille, cool, this picture is totally appropriate and the motion blur makes perfect sense. The cropping is a little too tight for my tastes; I want to see all of their middle finger. I am also a little uncomfortable with the levels and color balance, almost as if the white balance was set to daylight when indoors. Overall a good photograph, one of my top ten picks this week.

great shot, including the movement blur, DOF, colors, composition. on a side-note: I don't think the title is very appropriate - or do you know seeing people who choose to read braille when there's no light?

Neat idea. I like the way you can see through parts of the hand. The color isn't really very pleasing to me, though, for some reason...maybe the skin tones?

How strange that the "dots" are showing through the finger!

The sligh movement in the fingertip is very effective here. Good composition and lighting. 8 BAMartin

Great idea and picture. The slight blur is effective, I think, because it gives the impression of active reading. There seems to be a slight yellow tint (other than the paper), but I will assume it is on my end. Great picture. So far, my favorite. karmat
