A bold combination of ideas. The sharp contrast between black and white makes this image very special. |

I like how the hand are different colors on the opposite side of the color on the peace sign, it helps show the contrast and really sticks out. |

I like the negative colors in this picture a lot. The hair on the arm is very clear and it helps the picture a lot good job, |

This photograph is strong because of the rhythm of the contrasting black and white. |

Nice picture and the idea goes well with the challenge. The detail is good but the white hand needs a black nail for the thumb. |

The idea is very strong, and is executed very well. The black and white contrast each other very sharply. |

Nice photo... good idea, well executed technically... only issue I have with it is the hair on the arms tend to by the final focus (for my)... hate to say it, but they're "distracting". Other than that minor issue... excellent. |

Nice tight composition--fits the theme well |

the hand seems a little too white, doesnt really fit the same tone of the background or the ying yang sign |

brilliant idea but the white hand looks over exposed. There are three distinct whites (hand, background, and in yin-yang) in the shot that forces me to take away 3 points. still a strong 7 from me for the concept, which should not take your average down. |

Cool concept, nicely executed. Maybe a little more precision...dividing line is a bit right of center, the thumbnails unpainted are distracting. Very nice, though. |

Clever idea. The pastiness of the white hand is a distraction and an easy mark for negative hits IMO. It just doesn't feel right somehow... Another nit is the black's & white's don't match. The white of the Yin/Yang (whatever you call it) is greyish, the bg is yellowish, and the hand is much brighter than the other two. The black of the Yin/Yang thing is a deeper/truer black than the background area.
This is a tough concept to pull off, especially in a basic challenge that limits you in tweaking this some in selective areas.
All of the above is JMO of course. :-D Good luck in the challenge. |

I really like the whole black and white united and the ying yang in the middle very nice. |

I wish the hand didn't look so painted... I'm not sure how to deal with that... Good idea, though. |

Good concept, well shot. If I'm being picky the background alignment is a little off and the hairs distract a little although I doubt you fancy shaving your arms :) |

Very cool idea and good composition. I think the exposure is a touch hot on the white hand, especially above the first knuckle. Also, the background dividing line is just a touch off of being right between the hands. |

Nice take on the challenge. My only recomendations - less hairy arms, and a black thumnail on the left hand. |

I really like what you tried to do here, and I find this a really powerful image, that said though I have a couple things that just bug me. One the white had is a bit blown. The white on the ying yang and the white in the background are good, but the white hand is just too overpowering. Second, where the white and black hands meet do not line up with where the white and black meet in the background. It throws the balance off a little for me. Last, and this is just totally personal preference, the hair on the hands and arm are a bit distracting, I would of liked to have seen non hairy smooth hands and arms to match the smoothness of the background and ying yang. Overall though, like I said, I find this a very compelling photo. |

I think i would have like this idea better if you used two diffrent hands instead of inverting the other half. |
