Well, here is something a little more abstract than most of what youll see in the BW's. It isnt exactly what I was wanting, but its close enough. I took one weeks ago that was much cleaner between the hands, but I couldnt seem to get this one to clean up enough. Hope you can tell what it is at first glance, if not, so be it. Crop, Grayscale, Threshold, USM.

By 'eck it certainly got an unjustified hammering! I still like it and feel it should have done much better, thanks for submitting it.

Pretty abstract. I pity your final score. I'm giving it a 7. I like the placement of the "thing" in the frame and the total lack of detail.

I can't even tell what this is.

This is a bold idea, but I'm not sure how well it comes across with all the negative space. Or in this case, positive space. Still, I like it.

I don't mind the technique at all, I just can't tell what it is. Sorta ruins the fun. OK I see at least one hand. Still. hmmm. I wish I could tell what it was, then I could give you a high score. I will look at your notes after the challenge. I gave you a 6

Bold idea, but needs to be cleaner to work as a pure graphic. Try making an advanced-editing copy for your-self, with the noise between the hands edited out.

Fabulous image - it would have been even better if the additional pixels could have been eliminated particularly those on the outer edges of the hands but its still gorgeous - weel done.

Just way way way too much contrast for me. Personally I would almost call this digital art more than a photograph but because of that I believe this would probably do well at an art exhibit.

The photo is too over exposed. It definately could have used more lines, if you were going for an artistic pen and ink type look. As is I cant see enough details to tell me what it is I'm looking at.

They are hands, it appears, but the effect you employed is not doing this photo any favors. This isn't going to score well unfortunately.

For me, DPC is about photographic integrity. I feel that the upped contrast goes beyond that. 1
