Wow! This picture is AWESOME! The colors and clarity really make this shot but I also love how it relays a sureal feel. Almost like something you'd see in a futuristic movie. Nicely done.

I love the low perspective here. Great contrast between man and nature. The flower in the lower left, though, is overpowering.

I want to thank everybody for the many comments I received. I had the idea for this shot while I was taking a shower (doh!), 20 minutes before the challenge submission deadline. I took 7-8 photos, changing light, position of the hand and so on. It was funny because I was alone and had to start the timer, actually lock myself inside the shower box, remove the marks I used as a reference on the glass, position the hand - and then start over. :) The shot I submitted was taken with a neon lamp inside the shower box. The shower box itself provided the orange tone, which I subsequently enhanced because I liked the "alarmed" mood it gave to the picture. I tried also blue tones and b&w, but it didn't really work (imho).

The really close orange flower is really distracting from your subject.

This looks too pretty to denote a form of imprisonment. I share a claustrophobic fear but this doesn't capture it for me. The hand is too unstressed and gentle. Nice colours though outside of the challenge.

IMHO this should have been B/W.
