Took this one an hour before the challenge, and had some minor sizing problems 10 minutes before the dead line, but I managed to get it up. The stuff on her hands is supposed to be Henna. I actually DO have authentic Henna kits but I didn't have time, so I just used brown marker ;-P
The model is my unwilling mom.

Cool image. I like your idea and presentation and all elements present.
I feel that this image will look even better if saved at a better quality. There's a lot of detail that's been taken away because of the compression (I think). You can actually see individual pixels floating around the image. I think it would be worth another try if it wasn't the camera that did it.
i like the texture of the skin and the strong lighting. try to illuminate the right side of the face to a small degree as well, either while setting up the shot or later in PS.
Many photos in the challenge are of people triangeling their hands like you did here. But personally I think this one is the best of them.
The lighting is perfect, the details and focus are excellent, the texture is causing a very unique feel to this one.
(and I really like those marks on your hands)
Wonderful take on this challenge!
