Geometry on hand

Very interesting but it gets lost in the uneven lighting. Also needs more DOF and/or better focus.

Back to comment: Sorry to be so blunt but this image doesn't really convey Simple Pleasures to me. On the technical side, your image has a couple of compositional issues that could be improved. First, the cropping is a little tight to the scarecrow's hat at the top of the image. Second, the placement of the scarecrow should be more to the left so it is looking into the negative space in the image instead of away from the negative space. I suggest you review the winning images in the Rule of Thirds challenge to get a better feel for subject placement.

Interesting thought, but a lot of empty space.

If the subject is the hand, then I suggest having it in sharp focus; even the slight blur here really diminishes the impact of the lines.

And then get rid of the blurry stuff in the back - it draws my eye away from the hand.

Sharp focus, nothing else visible, and the hand in just that spot, and I'd give this a better score.
