| I love the DOF in the background with this one but the hand is just a tad to dark to give impact to the image..... |

I probably end up sounding like a broken record because I think I said this to most of the people I voted "4" too.
A photo has to entertain and/or communicate. And in large challenges like what we have at DP Challenge you don't have a lot of time to do that. Photos that don't grab my attention automatically get a 5 ..at the most a 6 if the technicals are just astonishing.
Your photo just wasn't strong enough to stand out in the crowd to me. That put you around a 5. Then, your silhouette (the technical challenge part) felt a bit missed.
If you could have had the drop more pronounced on the hand or the contrast could have been better then I think you would have seen a rise in your average a point or two.
When you don't make it clear that your intention was a dark photo though strong contrasting elements and subject matter then it feels as though the photo was simply underexposed through lack of technique.
Anyway, thats my meager 2 cents. I hope it helps you some :-) |

| I like how the shadows of the parts of the hand are shown but wish that the water droplets were more visible. |

| To me this is not a silhouette so I cannot give it a high rate. I'm afraid of this because I like this shot. |

| Here's what I think about silhouettes: If the subject needs front lighting to help you understand what it is, then it is not a strong candidate for silhouette lighting. The images that really work in this challenge have subjects in complete silhoutte against a brighter background. It is the strength of that division, between light and dark, and the story they tell which captures the imagination. |
