Thanks for all the comments... for some reason, I had a hard time keeping the hand & the picture of the moon in focus. I took a variety of shots at various exposures & f stops and the hand was usually blurry. If fact, that is one reason I changed it to B&W, because the color looked really odd. I think that is one reason it did not do better. It was definitely a fun photo, something different for me.

A great dream and certainly a nice image to illustrate the poetic desire. Bumping up again.

Creative and good lighting and focus. I'm guessing a print out of the moon on black paper keeping both hand and moon in focus???. Any way its a good shot, bump to 7.

VERY neat image! Unique idea! I wish the hand were a little less grainy, but I suppose that is technically very difficult with the different depths of focus!

High ambition. Go for it! Nicely done picture. Maybe a little less grain would have sharpened this image.

Great message, says it all without needing the title to get by so you'll get a 10 from me.
