From the Critique Club:
First of all, I want to say that this is an incredible shot! I love everything about it. The tonality of this is awesome! You took a very mundane scene and turned it into a photograph! I would even go so far as to say that this reminds me of the work of jjbeguin and that my friend is a compliment.
What I like about this: This is almost all gut feeling because I can not get past the fact that you caught a moment. You have created a documentation of a moment. A very mundane moment that most of us would overlook. This could be looked at as a snapshot turned duotone but I don't see that. I see my mom rubbing her hands with lotion. Is that what you took a photo of? No but that's what I see. And this is the one thing that only the great photographers can do. Take something as simple as painting ones nails and turn it into an emotional attachment to something in the viewers life!
Why didn't this do good here? There are many examples of excellent photos here scoring low. I'm afraid to say that it's because of the challenge-anal voters. You know the ones that look at this shot and say, I'm sorry I see fifteen. I'm afraid to say it's because of the fact that DPC is now so big that many of us don't have time to vote/comment on all the pictures. If your shot doesn't scream the theme so loud your eyes hurt, it won't score so well. I wish this wasn't the case, but it is.
Bottom line. I love the shot and have added it to my personal faves.
Please keep shooting. I can't wait to see what else you do...
Yours

| I dont find that the title works well for the image, and certainly not for the challenge theme. |
