Really great processing. I love the ghostly shadow that surrounds the entire hand. I think many did not see the beauty in this image. I disagree with the comment by Juli about the halo. I think that is part of why I like the image so much. |

I see a long life and one child ;) The halo is distracting for me. Often when I use a strong gausian blur on a background, I go around the outer edge of the subject with the clone tool. |

goodness gracious, this would keep a palm reader busy for hours! interesting how the perspective distorts the length of the fingers. |

It's so difficult to judge whether or not processing is overdone - for me you've gone a couple of steps too far. The haloing gives the game away and detracts from the strength of the image. |

I wasn't sure how I felt about this shot at first... is it real, or Memorex?
That is an incredible hand with a life time of messages in every crease. I have to go down as saying that it is a very powerful shot, great detail, well done 10 |

DPC is going to need a collective bath after all of the dirty bdy parts that I have voted on this far. This is one of the better ones, but to be perfectly honest I am just tired of voting on dirty hands and that is why I can only give it a 6. |

Nice sharpness an a great hand but the over done PP distracts from the image for me |

fascinating, the only thing I don't like about this porcessing: you can't avoid the halo around the edges. |

I realize you are going for a certain look, but it just looks like way over-done processing to me. |

Amazing textures and lighting. Quite gritty, great shot. |

Wow, a fairly confronting look at aging. Although not a hugely appealing image, great job on accentuating all those lines. The editing though has left a strange fuzzy halo along all the edges. |

You have a great hand here to photograph, but I think you went too far with the processing. Looks like a bit overdone HDR. |
