i'm really having a hard job judging this one.
the fact it's just the hands and bowl lend to the fact that it could be anybody, but the lack of 'more' leaves me feeling like it's me with my hands on the bowl, asking for more of the image.
an 8 is all you get, now go and be happy with it |

Lovely. The hands look rather well cared for, but I suppose 'poor' hands are hard to come by on short notice.
I think it fits the challenge very well, and is reasonably executed.
The big issue I have here is the lighting, not only is it a bit too harsh (Chiaroscuro is good, but only to a point), but the entire midtone range is quite low-key and the highlights are a bit low as well.
6 for meeting the challenge well, but not quite the processing that I would have preferred. |

I like the idea of the image. The lighting looks good on this one. Very minimalist in this. Seems like it needs something else.
Gave it a 6 |

| A famous quote risks letdown when the image doesn't fit. Here the hands lack the wear and tear of an urchin, and without a suitable face or at least some hint of one, the image is incomplete. Nice try with the bowl and hands which might be enough for some viewers. 5 |

| Wonderful shot, the darkness and negative space really add to this photo. Hope to see it do well. 9 |

| I like the idea of interpreting this literally and abstractly at the same time. But I must confess I am bothered by what looks like a nice teak salad bowl - at once too specific to be abstract, too large and inappropriate to be authentic. Everything counts in a picture, and is more easily counted in a minimal one. 5 |

| An odd look, I feel I want to turn it upside down for some strange reason. The low key approach is ok, but the emptiness above the bowl leaves me feeling just that, not as an effect of the topic, but there is something lacking in the composition. Probably, because they are a man's hands you were without a boyish model, a low key face would have completed the picture for me.5. |

| Nice idea, and nice bowl, but I'm feeling that it's too dark. Perhaps it's the heavy shadows between the fingers -- because I like the idea of the back of the bowl and the person disappearing. -6- |

| The photo is too dark and contrived for my taste. The large area of black on top just makes it seem like you ran out of props and costumes. In general, I think if your photo is going to be largely black, it feels contrived to have one portion be well lit and the rest completely invisible. 2 |

I like what you've chosen to do with this shot... but I feel it's just too dark.
Gave it a 5 |

| A good idea, but the plastic bowl and well groomed hands don't tie to the story well. Would like to see more subject, in a way that lends to the story. I can faintly see burn lines around the hands and forearms as well, but that may be this monitor so take that with a grain of salt. 3 |

Dickens-iana , only that the bowl had to be made of metal and the hands of a young boy and not so delicate and clean!
Nevertheless, a nice image - a square crop might be even better

| Yup, you nailed it. Lovely take on the book, and so PERFECTLY executed with your choice of light and minimal subject in focus/view. Very sparse and poignant! |
