My wife's hand pushing on a sliding glass door as I shot from inside. Off-camera flash lit from the bottom left corner of the shot to isolate the hand. Desaturated and some levels pushed in photoshop to get the black level right.

Very cool (and a little creepy!). One of those shots that I stared at for awhile.

One of my top votes in the challenge. great lighting. I like how the arm is just coming out of the darkness and pressing against and unseen surface. The fingers are splayed just right conveying the emotion of anguish, isolation or entrapment. looks great - well done.

This photo is so simple but at the same time dramatic, great photo!

This is a really creative take on the challenge. Leaving only the lower portion of the arm and hand visable against the black background is great and reduces viewer distraction from your subject. Great shot, great execution !

This is a good idea, well executed with a matching title.

Interesting concept for "touch"
nice tonal range, Not sure how I feel about the composition.

The idea is great, but the photo lacks sharpness in my oppinion...
