nice range of tones. this might be more powerful if you had been able to capture ripples from the initial submergence of the hand, or had waited long enough for the bubbles (which are unfortunately distracting) to dissipate. the problem with them is that, in particular in regards to your middle finger, block your subject a bit, but also because their circular nature allows them to create bright, point highlights where the light reflects off of them properly. one last thing i would suggest is a slightly darker border, maybe a mid-tone gray. this is just my personal preference, obviously, and the border here doesn't hurt things that much, but since most of the image is so dark, something closer to that (certainly no brighter than the hand itself) would resonate better with the "soft" feel water elicits. -6-

The picture is a little overexposed and so you lose the details on the arm and hand. Moving the flash further from the subject, or natural light from a window would help with that. It also appears to be slightly out of focus. Cool texture under the water though!
