Shot through glass to give a water effect.

This is a recurring dream I have, I am drowning and a skeletal hand reaches out of a bright light to save me.

Some may think this a nightmare but I always find it very reassuring.

This is very interesting shot. I cannot figure out how you did it and it intriques me. It looks very artistic. I love the texture of the water and the contrast between the light and the darks.

That is so cool. I love the the colors, the abstract well lit hand, the dark area around the hand, and the Title is really wicked and makes you think about the picture! Very very cool. Alternate title could be just: Drowning. Great job! 9.

This is an interesting shot, I'm trying to figure out if it's actually underwater or through glass, can't wait to find out. As for the shot itself, the light coming through the upper palm of the hand is rather distracting and I think it might have worked better if it wasn't quite as bright or if it's to represent the sun could have been more to the side or through the fingers because coming so bright through the hand it should have been more red.

This is very very scarey. It looks like I am cought under the ice and can't find the way out. I like the smokey dark border around the edges, it works to close the image in and adds to the trapped feeling - 8

This is a grabber - and I'm not even sure why. It sure does exude mystery and nightmare.

I like your concept:) I would have enjoyed this more if the hand were more centered and the thumb were part of the act. very artistic shot though. Good Luck:) 5

I like your idea here. I attempted to do "drowning" at first, but after 165 shots and swallowing WAY too much water, I gave up and switched ideas. This is very hard to pull off. Good luck.

Very, very good. Strong colours, pretty damn scary-looking, good effect, and very dreamlike. (9)
