I want to hold your hand...by
BadgerComment by nards656: ==Greetings from the Critique Club==
Composition
You've used the rule of thirds well, and the lines leading from left to right are very nice. Cutting off both hands in mid-forearm is a little bit distracting, for me, though.
Camera Technicals
The exposure is basically good, but the high contrast leaves it feeling like the hands are out in space.
Post Processing
I think I would have chosen to emphasize some colors, rather than going for the true black and white looks, to show some of the "cheer" that is in the song.
Challenge
Without a question this meets the challenge very well, and it wouldn't even require the title for me to know that.
Overall Impression
The hands seem a bit disconnected from EVERYTHING, and that doesn't work really well for me. The song you picked is a "happy" song, and I think the picture is a little "sad". It's technically well done, and I like the bracelet, but it could probably be stronger with some happy colors and cheerful things.
These are just my thoughts and impressions. I hope you find them to be helpful and constructive. Please contact me by PM if you have questions or responses.
