The earth is a globe I made for some science project I cannot remember taking part in. I repainted it to make it look more rad. I also used some make-up on my hand to give it freckles; I don\'t know why, but I envision God\'s hand to look ethnic.
The picture was a long exposure under a blue penlight; the least harsh light source I had. I hope that this will fare better than my footwear entry, which I expected to do much better than it currently is.

i like the concept but some things that might help improve this:
the lighting is too dark. i agree a dark background is probably ideal for the theme of this photo, but "God's" hand should be illuminate at least. also, i know you might be limited by available materials by a glob with writing on it and clear dilineations of state size, along with regional color-coding, makes it a bit less believable. i know there are globes available without political information that would seem more appropriate for a whole "hand of god descending on earth" feel. just some thoughts
