Great picture representing life. The b/w gives the image a great impact and makes it pop out of the shot. The dark background also helps. The focus is really good. You can see almost every pore of the skin.
This would make for a great Father's Day greeting card or postcard.

Best of the bunch! Chrisp, well thought out, nice reflection. Only suggestion would be to try to reduce the window light on the right side of the eye! Great Job! 10

Greetings :) This is a particuarly strong photo in my opinion. I think your interpretation of this challenge is a very emotive one. These two hands in the darkness also seem to represent a strong bond between the parent and child... maybe also a 'comforting' mood. Who is giving the comfort? The child or the adult? :) This is also a great example of how creative lighting can create emotion in a photo. This is my favorite photo in this challenge... great work :) = 10
