Good idea for photo. How did you do it? I wonder how it would look if he was a little further from the camera and just a bit out of focus-just a thought...

Good effect. Soft focus added to the composure.

Interesting concept. I like the composition of the shot (square vs diagonal hands). Not too fond on the wierd lighting of the hands, i think it would've been better if we could actually see the whole hands. Not sure this represents Surrealism tho.. 4

This is a very interesting picture. I like how you were able to catch the contrasting lights and darks so well in this picture. Nice work.
