I took an alternate route home today to travel along Lake Erie, but it was an overcast day. Suddenly during my travel the sun peeked through. I kept seeing my hand in the light as it hung on the steering wheel...

So here you have my (aged YIKES!?!)hand at rest at the steering wheel - I pulled over because I noticed the detail back at the last stop sign....said to myself "this is photo stuff made from natural light!"

I hope this is light - the light of which photographers speak...

Deb - the light sure does pick up the textures in the skin on your hand. I really think that a b/w image would work much better here - the color actually distracts the viewer. By desaturating carefully in PS using single color channels, you may be able to draw more of the texture out.

As far as subject - a portion of a hand is not a particularly exciting subject. This likely has a bit to do with why you have not had many comments.

I have tried a hand at a b/w processing and cropped it down a bit - What do you think? Does is jump more and show the lighting better? Maybe...

Looks like a photographer's hand to me! ; ) I tell ya, I am gonna take one of my foot, just to see if any one comments lol.

I think you did a good job with the lighting, as you used it to catch all the details in your hand. Interesting shot!
