I really liked this shot - a bit surprised it didn't feature a lot higher in the ranking. It's a bold statement. I gave this a 9...for me the desaturation only served to move focus to the togetherness of the hands, rather than weirdly discolourised forearms. I reckon you'd do really well at a stock photography place with this image...(team work, togetherness etc).

I like the idea that your trying to grasp. Dont really think that the color combination is planned out all that well.

Not sure if the Color/B&W works for this.

I like the use of selective desaturation.

I like the focus on the hands, but the black and white on the arms makes it look like they are sick. Pretty cool picture tho!

This rules. Great idea. Nicely done too and great comp. You done good with the central crop and the colours are nice too.

If i'm being nitpicky (which i am) I would suggest giving it all a bit mroe contrast to make the arms look a bit more rounded and to increase the tones of the black and white. Also, maybe having the other 'big hand' at the top would have balanced it better. It looks like both the adult hands are at the bottom which makes it look a bit heavy down there. But still, it's one of the most 'human' images I've seen so far.

Great title too :)

I like the composition and the idea but I hate the selective desaturation you did, sorry. It just looks too odd.
