I would have made this totally black and white, like it none the less.

Kind of blurry and dark and I really don't see the fingerprint.

I think the idea for this image was very good but the finished product is cluttered. The yellow and blue drawn my attention and the brush (which for me would be the focus of attention for this image) is not sharp.
