Greetings from the Critique Club...

Future requests for in-depth critique will require that you have filled out your photographer's comments when you submit the photo. This will be beneficial to you if the person giving the critique has some additional insight into your photograph...

I don't believe the hand motion effect shown here is adding impact to the image. It does demonstrate an interesting technique, but I believe the photo would be stronger without that. A sweeping motion of the hand could have possibly produced something a bit more interesting to me, but the double hand image just makes me ask 'why?' I don't understand the intent or purpose of it. The duration of the exposure to make this effect has possibly made the image display motion blur in places where you don't want it also.

The subject is very strong, but I think some additional execution would be nice :)

I'm not sure I really understand this. But that's OK: I like it a lot better than most of the entries that I do understand. It's not a beautiful photograph, but it is interesting and challenges the viewer to think about its meaning. I like that. In spite of the fact that the title is a little awkward, I think your general intent is apparent. It's just the "multiple-exposure" of the hand that confuses me. However, I like ambiguity, so it's a 7.

A powerful sentiment and a moving picture. I wonder if it would be possible to make more of the lighting to enhance the shape and form more. Good Luck with the challenge.

The composition needs a little work. The subject matter could have been better. The image quality is very poor. Has potential of being really creative. - 3

I couldn't decide if the title is a grammar error, or if I'm missing something. I also don't quite get the extra hands...4
