Very appropriate for the busy challenge, and very fitting for this group. Good title for you piece. I think you did a job accomplishing what I would think you set out to do: look busy by typing. I really do like the image as a whole, it just feels like it is missing that little edge which lets images jump up in the scores. From my point of view, I might have cropped it a little tighter or removed the stuff behind the monitor. Also I would have but something on the screen that drew some attention into the shot. One other little thing that I personally would have altered is taking off the bracelet, we can tell the hands are moving without the bracelet and the movement of it was a little distracting for me. Looking at the image again I would be really curious to see a shot like this with a darker lighting like nighttime so the monitor glows and causes the hand s to have a small glow from the screen.

I think you had a great idea and did an excellent job capturing a challenging effect.

Dude! You gota Dell! :D

Ok, you're hands are busy, but what I see on your screen is your photo again. If you'd had a word processor or spreadsheet or something to that effect open, I'd score it 1 point higher. ;) 6

Good capture, nicely done, focus is great, in fact I can clearly see the veins in the hands, which as I nurse I always look for. Well done

lcd screen is a bit distracting but, very nice idea

I like the idea of the picture to show busy hands however for me the photo lacks interest, in colour or composition. There seems to be no focal point or any areas of interest, the colour is bland and so is the crop. Sorry sometimes I feel its hard to remember it also needs to be visually appealing along with meeting the challenge.

Looks like an outtake for the shutter speed challenge :) Great job in making the hands blurry and the motion of the movements. 7
