Thank you to all the voters for the 4th place finish. I enjoyed all the comments on this image and I realy like the photo.


My son was kind enough to wear the cuffs.

June 13th 1966 - The US Supreme Court rules in the Miranda case that police must inform suspects of their rights before questioning them.

Gosh those dirty nails make it pretty gruesome to reality.

I love the colour scheme in this one. The gritty hands make it.

Hmmm, that backround looks familiar... Nice job with the processing but maybe a tad too dark for my taste, a little brighter and even more contrasty and I would have voted higher but it got a 6 from me this time.

what a powerful image..great contrast, color..etc..

Excellent image. You could have brought the mid tones up a bit and I only say that because I know that some with poor monitor calibration will have a hard time seeing the shadow mid tone seperation. In my case, I see it fine and it works well enough that I predict a ribbon for this. Good luck!
Oh yes... bumping up... :)

Very emotive and lovely detail and set-up.

I'm giving this a 10 because The idea I had for mine and never got to it was to do something about the Miranda case. You did it very well. I like the dirty hands and the corderoy works well for the year also. Great job!

Grungy hands are a nice touch.

Great idea, dirty up the rest of the arm next time :) 7.

I like the idea and the composition. If I have to complain about anything, it's the dirt stopping so suddenly on the right arm.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is one of my favorites of the entire challenge! :D Not only does it completely meet the challenge, but it is technically excellent. Though it's a tad dark, I think it might actually help with the grungy look of the shot. Not only do I love that the hands are dirty and greasy, but the fact that you put him in corduroys is perfect!!!

Wonderful and gritty shot. Love the lighting, pose and BG. More than that, I love the feel of the shot. In the nitpicky stuff - the dirt comes across as false and contrived. Even so, 9
