Very clever and highly moving even in the tonal understatement. The sort of image that can hang in any museum of fine art. Bumping up.

I get the concept, you framed and took a picture of something that we are not supposed to see. If the frame were behind her, to me, it would seem to make a bit more sense.

i personally sould have darkened the face a little more and just left the fingers as a tell. That said, this is one of my favourites.

Very nice / original concept. Nicely implemented. The painted knuckles was a great touch.

Very symmetrical, it works nicely and the idea is good an executed well, just doesn´t have any "wow" value with me but technically it´s very well done, you got a 7 from me.

Different. Like how the hands were painted to match the frame. The ties on the persons right hand almost match the indentation of the frame, however the left hand is reversed which is distracting to me. IMO would have added a little more punch if there was a black cloth attached to the bottom of the frame to hide the persons body below the frame. Just my opinion. Good luck

That is brilliant! Wow! How frightening... :)

Neat idea, right down to the painting of the fingers. Just enough light so you can see the person is there. Nice job!

When viewed in small pixels, the model truly blends in with the whole portrait. Fantastic shot. I see cracks in the paint, perhaps try another type of paint, like poster or acrylic for a better effect. I'd say oil, but the model might not like it on the facial area. I gave a 7
