 I was digging through a drawer looking for things that didn't relate and I found a rune, some jewelry and the cross. I held the rune and cross in my hand and then realized that although unrelated, they both have to do with some things that are not explained and are both symbolic for quite different reasons. You "cast" runes to foretell future events and the Bible quotes "Ye without sin, cast the first stone," so to me it all tied together.

Has the dnmc police visited this image? Well, here is the way I see it: for practical purposes we can call the two items amulets or icons. So the image consists of one hand and amulets which equal two item. Bumping to 8.

I like the idea. I wish the cross and rune stone (I assume this is a rune stone) were a little less centered.

1,2,3, DNMC. Don't vote it lower because you gathered the objects on a hand, but because the two objects ARE related, arent they? I'm not into religions, but the stone looks like a religious symbol to me - correct me if I'm wrong...
It's still a high quality shot, good composition and color.

I like the sepia tone in this. Good lighting on the hand.
