My favorite model as usual, Melissa. Ellie was being a snot! I had a sister idea but oh well, we tried a couple of different things with this and I decided on this one because of her expression. My hand is not as visible as her face but I don't care, it's the idea more than anything.

I know the left side is sharp and the right side is soft, I like it that way also, it adds to the contrast in her emotions of feeling down (she wasn't, she was acting).

Used the Channel Mixer and monochromed the green channel.

Adjusted the black and white points.

Added the border.

Sharpened twice.

I expect it to bomb but oh well, I need to start getting back in the game.

The girl looks sad and the hand seems to be trying to give her comfort. This image conveys emotion and this makes it a strong photo to me.

As you know this challenge is difficult to vote on because some believe physical touch and others believe emotional touch. I for one believe in both and your photograph represents both physical and emotional touch. Good lighting but a little soft on the focus of the hand. But still a great photograph. Good Job!

Picture is good, but where is 'Mother'?....(know that the bottom), but hard to see it, and the picture size is too big to fit on the screen and see and feel the mother's hand.

the 'touch' aspect is too understated
