My left hand shot in a mirror ... it is "not quite right" in many ways ...

• wrong finger
• perpetuates unfair stereotypes of southpaws

et cetera ...

Not a ribbon material, I agree, but <4.0 score is wrong.
There is no requirement that pics should not be grainy.... I don't understand voters sometimes.
Meets challenge, is artsy imo, so I would have scored it (if I were voting on this one) prolly 8.
Commendations on an interesting image.

Sure is grainie and lack of clear focus, maybe that was your intent, but hurts the subject matter in my opinion.

Kind of grainy, and out of focus.

Another unique and different look at a gesture that is not quite right. Very clever. The grain just enhances the rather unusual look in a humorous way.

Interesting take on the challenge. Could have been great with a bit more brightness and less grain.

I don't understand why this photo has to be grainy and dark...
