I'm This Many

Nice portrait, good colors and framing, but for the hand challenge, the hand has to be in focus, if not the primary focus. This may cause you to do more poorly in this challenge, but it made for a better portrait.

The focus is to narrow and too forward here, everything from her ring back is OOF. Also the lighting is pretty harsh, a bounce source over to the right, even someting as simple a a sheet of white paper would provide modleing and smooth out the exposure. I like what I can see here, I just wish I could make out more of it.

good take on a very tough idea, but the post processing to mke it look more pencil sketch like doesn't work, I just mkes the work look like a poorly processd photograph, especially across the knuckles. E for effort.

a touch blown along the highlighs on the left of the frame, but a lovely intamacy is created here between subect and lens. Good focus, color saturation and mostly godd framing. top ten

Very lovely tones and soothing mood, I just wish the frame was further down, the top is nothing but wall and the hand is cut off before the wrist. Still, a lovely mood is created here.

The mixed shadows are very confusing, keep the backround further back and the light s will even out, creating a more clam effect.

You realy need to turn the date off. Cute idea, and the leading lines of the grass and the paths work well to pull the eye into the hands, though the lamp pole does not.

Nice idea, original and evocative. 2 complaints, the landscape crop throws the balance off with 2 sleeved arms and one set of hands cropped at the wrist: and the color balance is shifted to the red. A bit of time balanceing out the colors would make this a better shot. Should do pretty well, but you could have done very well but for these small flaws.

Cute shot but 75% of this shot is sweater and boring backround, as the old saw goes "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't standing close enough." Her hand and the eyes are the stoy here, I want more of them.

Since the hands are 90% of this shot, you need to get then both all the way in the frame. Shoot looser, and crop the shot in editing, better to loose a few pixels than to loose part of the subject.
