Like the title, perhaps should be without the out of focus hand.

compelling photo. i probably wouldn't have put the left arm over the right hand. then again i didn't enter so who knows.

Great lighting / pose.
I don't like the crop though. The eye somehow seems to be sitting there without a face or something.

am I going to get arrested? It's got mood. The only thing that is distracting is the nose shadow. Start collecting some small mirrors and using them to reflect light back into places you want to lighten up. If you know you are going to b/w, you can also mix up the types of light you use.

Comment by taterbug:
Very smart composition. Nice use of lighting, very effective. I really like your choice of framing, the comp. and lighting form nice lines and draw my attention to the eye in the corner. I find that very interesting. I'm undecided if the necklace adds or detracts from the image, so either way that's probably a minor thing. Very good job. :-)

Comment by Art Roflmao:
An interesting and artistic composition. The left hand - how it's cropped and lighted - seems to get lost and distort the image in the lower left a bit, IMO. Good work overall and good luck to you.

Great angle. however the area in the lower left right below the hands is distracting, as it's harder to figure out what's going on in that area.

Inters\esting composition. I'm not really moved by this though. Excellent tech work. 7

Leaving the eye in was a stroke of genius. I find the foreground arm mildy distracting, but not overwhelmingly so. Nice tonal range, excellent lighting. Very well done!
