 Took about 30 shots using a different subject and then went to the basement to try this one. Took 30+ shots using different lighting and exposure times and this is the one I liked most.

Cropped, adjusted levels, saturation, contrast, USM, border and that's about it.

What is the red on the right side? It is very distracting. Otherwise is a sharp photo.

I like the way that you have captured the motion of the hand. Good lighting too.

you should have not scratched your butt when you took this photo. Too blurry.

The motion of the hand may have been intentional, but I think "still" would have been more appealing. I like the close-up on the cards - nice & bright...

The effect used for the fingers is inappropriate, I think. Either freeze the motion or have less movement - this one is more suited as a ghostly shot for a Halloween theme or something like that due to the transparency of it.

It took me a while to "get" it. I would have preferred the photo without the action blur. Nice try, but it's difficult to convey, at near macro level.

I don't like the stratching takes away from the picture.

Personally I think it would have been better without the motion of the hand. Otherwise great colors and focus and nice take on the challenge.
