I have no idea what this saying means. I searched for it on Google and I still don't know. Interesting photo, the bottom hand looks odd and at a strange angle.

You did a good job of lighting the hands and the choice of bg really make them stand out..... I don't quite get what the hands are doing but admire the crisp focus, making the lines in the palms of the hand stand out.

This is really very nicely seen, and it well deserves its high finish. I do have a couple of issues with the processing of it, but they don't take away from the quality of the essential work.

First and foremost, the frame seems way too heavy and restrictive for this image. Secondly, the burning-in of the water upper right is not very smoothly done, and it looks very artifical. If you did this by hand, you might want to know about how to do this kind of thing with gradient overlays. Feel free to PM me for an explanation of how, if you wish.

Finally, I wish there were a trace of separation between the boat and the wall/pier in the lower left. Not much, just a hint, to have that area come alive.

VERY nice work!
