Neat idea.

Compositionally, you have met the challenge well. Also, I really like the use of negative space here. It accentuates the hand and candle well.

Technically, the back hand looks a bit soft, in focus. While this normally wouldn't be a huge deal due to the fact that the candle and lower candle are focused well, it is the first thing noticed, I think in the picture and is illuminated by the candle. I like the shadows, though minimal, and how they help to shape the hand and the area around the candle. The candle seems a bit overexposed in the flame area, and doesn't have any details.

Overall, nicely done and a great idea.

Not bad but a bit flat contrast wise for my taste, also lighting could be a bit better as the right hand blends in too much with the backround, would have been great to have some rim light on that hand just as you have on the left hand.

Maybe just a little bit too much black space. Overall good picture though

Nice capture - The subject is a little boring though. Maybe female hands would have worked better because the hairs are a little distracting and take away from the simple lines of the picture.
