This is one of the most original hand shots I've seen in a long time. Nice use of desaturation.

Neat choice of background; I Like how pure black it is. Fascinating subject, too!

I don't usually like selective desaturation shots but this is very effective

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~
