This is a recessed door in one of the old adobes. There's a step, and a lot of people sit there to take a smoke or get out of the sun for a bit. I happened to be walking along with my camera, and caught this disembodied hand ... I hope it doesn't creep too many people out.
Cool picture. I love the mystery the hand creates. I want to know what the whole person looks like and are they there smoking, resting, or something else.
I agree with hajeka, cropping that out would make this so much stronger!! I do like the hand though, it makes you look twice at it, otherwise it would just be a wall!!!
Great capture. Makes you wonder who's behind the hand. Must be one of those moments that you're happy to have a camera with you. Perhaps some crop (just removing the left wall in the shadow) would also works very well.
