The idea here is that the hand is about to catch the camera. I hope this is obvious! It was taken against a white background on the floor, and changed to blue in PS. The camera is my trusty manual film SLR. The hand belongs to my wife, Kate. In hindsight, the thumb should be ready to support the bottom of the camera... Kate thought the camera was going to be depicted falling vertically. I'm curious to see how this will do, as this is my first attempt at creating a shot that the voters will like, rather than for my own ends. Possible negatives here are:
Border?
Does it look a bit fake?
Will people think this is cheating the challenge?
We'll soon see!

good lighting, nice composition, the gradient effect works well, I like borders, but this one I just don't really care for too much. A very good shot overall!
I like the nice Photoshop work however it is way to obvious and I think it breaks the rules for this challenge. Someone might try to disqualify you.
Personally I like it and if you can do extra Photoshop work on a photo without anyone picking up on then all the power to you. This has got disqualification written all over it but ill give you a 6 because I like it. Good luck
Boy, are you crazy throwing your camera like that? ;-) This is a very dramatic shot with an interesting composition that I like a lot. The only thing that's jarring is that bright blue with horizontal striping through it, which usually indicates a simple gradient fill. Still, the shot came out very nice.
