2nd pass through my votes - have to upgrade this 2 points. I think the lighting is great - excellent shot.

A very nice study with lovely tonal dimension and great visual power. The right hand is just right with the forefinger up and the pinky separated. My only minor complaint is that the thumb of the left hand is fading and not depicting its shape. Again, a minor flaw. Bumping up to 7 on sheer force of overall presentation wuth lovely black background.
