I very much like the hands being featured in this, i.e. the brightness. (Even better if the end of the worked on piece were darker). Your lighting is excellent.

Good idea to make this shot B&W. In addition to the other comments, I like the bit of sawdust in the foreground that seems to add to the effect of something going on.

Your treatment of the hands resulted in my eye being riveted by those knuckles. An interesting combination of the rough & the smooth.

I pretty much agree with the group. The b&w is good. I also think the hands are a bit too light, but I realize you don't want the image to be flat and dull.

i like your choice to convert this to b/w - it really accentuates the details in the metal in the foreground, separates the hand from the other tan objects in the color version

i just wonder if the hands are just a bit too bright

Yes, I agree, this one was meant for B&W. Just right! I like the rings in the sanding wheel and the ring on the hand.

Very nice shot, I like how tightly you've gone in for the shot and the b&w conversion works very well. Maybe I wouldn't have had the hands quite as bright but that's just being really picky! The rest of the lighting is spot on.

I like the B&W version best. The knuckle on the right hand makes me nervous, because if that was me, you could have used that movie for the title, "There Will Be Blood."
