Challenge: Hands (Basic Editing III)

 Centermen often have the second best hands of any player on the team, after the goalkeeper. This shot is from the opening of the second period with the game scoreless.

I realize that people will complain that the hands in the picture are covered by gloves, so be it. I originally wanted a picture of the keeper, but they didn't get much of a glove work-out that night.

The game was from the NJ public school semi-finals between (1) Morris Knolls [white] and (5) Montgomery [green], Montgomery won 2-1 to advance to the finals.

I tried a crop around the hands and stick, but as you pointed out it's a bit far out from this shot (also othe angle isn't conducive to it as the white player has his arm tucked in too much already). I appreciate the feedback, thanks.

FWIW there are at least three glove-less hands visible, but as I stated in the comments section, I didn't expect people to think it fit the challenge even though I felt it did.

The 'hand' feel doesn't seem that strong to me. Nice shot, though.

I'm not sure I get the "hands" in this?

Doesn't exactly emphasize the theme of hands, I'm afraid.
