Good composition - perhaps too good, because my eye is lead away from your hand to the flower on the end, so the "touch" is kind of missing for me.

Nice lines, good undistracting background.

Hmmmm, on second thought, is that background the GRADIENT thing mentioned in the forum thread that got all controversial about EddyG's smoke image? I think so...

While looked nice at first glance, it began to look unnatural after gazing at it for a minute, especially around the hand, because of the darkness of the edges of the hand in contrast to the light background.

Mostly just a weird transition, but also the lighting on the hand is flat, and the flowers are casting shadows characteristic of an ON-CAMERA FLASH. I wish people wouldn't use the builtin flashes for their challenge submissions. They just don't make the colors and textures good.

I will say that the background IS very well separated from the foreground. Clearly a careful job of separation there, so some points for that.

The background's color doesn't help the subject's colors...
