beautiful composition, I had a similar idea (but thought about it with feet standing in the center) when i was in boston the other day and decided against it; - now I wish I hadn't; its a very well laid out composition, almost looking like the bursting of sun-rays from the hand- and or as if the stain itself is radiating from the hand... ~10~

My pick for red.
Lately I've been bored with selective desaturation but this is really unique, you have renewed my faith in that it can be used to better an image!

Simple idea, but it carries a lot of impact. This is in my top three.

This shot works well because of the leading lines in the oil. Nice shot.

I LOVE IT. The background is wonderful and the contrast of the hand is lovely against the colors. Super-fantastic.
