Not my usual type of expressive photography but "Dirt" just conjured up an image in my mind of something dark and creepy.
I set this up in my basement. Cut a whole in cardboard and spread potting soil over it. Then I spread vaseline all over my hand and stuck it in the bag of soil. The rest of the process can be assumed. Post processing included adusting levels, curves, cropping, and sharpening. Thanks for looking.

We came from quicksand? Tech is good, not a "grabber" though.

Well, I hope you are doing better than my own zombie hand shot. A) the angle of the arm is excellent. Looks like the person is really under there. B) Lots of dirt on the hand. That's good. C) The background isn't that great and the little fertilizer(?) spots aren't helping. That pulls the image down. 6

It's kind of hard to see your hand but I like the idea.

The subject does not stand out from the background. The idea itself is original.

I like the idea in this shot, but the hand is difficult to see against a background that is of the same color and nearly the same texture.
