Nice idea, interesting angle. Overall, though, it just doesn't grab me.

Maybe if the light were brighter, so the whites were lighter?

Excellent composition and lighting. Way to go NOT deleting the double reflection and getting yourself DQd. :)

That large out of of focus thing near the top really draws my eye away from the part that's in focus below it. Which was your intended subject?

Hi. Given your profile bio, I'm writing to suggest that you study your camera's manual and learn how to use the autofocus and manual focus if it exists. Both of your entries suffered for being blurry.

Good luck, keep taking pictures, and play around with subjects, light, and points of view. You'll get there!

Hand lines

If the subject is the hand, then I suggest having it in sharp focus; even the slight blur here really diminishes the impact of the lines.

And then get rid of the blurry stuff in the back - it draws my eye away from the hand.

Sharp focus, nothing else visible, and the hand in just that spot, and I'd give this a better score.
