Nice try, but if that's the subject's right arm he'd be better off just using it to release the vice!

Great idea, and I love the tones. Only complaint is that the hand in the vice appears a little soft.

pain is an interesting and difficult emotion to express. . .i like this a lot, but htink it might have been more effective without the grasping. . .just the vice and the tortured hand. my opinion. 7

Had you played more off the vise and less on the hands, this would have been a better photo.
