Nice strong shapes and composition.

I'm surprised by the number of entries in this category who've submitted images themed on religion, or snapshots of cars or children. Not original or interesting.

Well done but the shadows are a bit hard, in terms of edges on the wrists. What I like about the shot is that the fingers on the left hand are a bit off center, making the whole thing a bit more "human" somehow. If not for that, the image is too symmetrical for my tastes.

I like your idea, I'm assuming you mean prayer. This photo has a nice, simple look to it that I like, and the b&w does well here, so you can focus on the meaning. I think that the lighting is great, also! Nice work!

Powerful image... shame the hands aren't centred in the frame. Good contrast and range of tones. Effective lighting.

Your lighting here is really nice and I like the background because it's not a stark white. I think it's a great choice for black and white and is also well composed. I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer, so this hits an emotional note with me as well. Great job.

The title indicates weakness not strength...what about 'give me strength'? Title aside, this is a fantastically shot pic especially the light and shade and portrait orientation..well done

Nice. Wish the hands were a little more symmetrical (left is angled toward camera more).

Mér finnst eins og þessi mynd ætti að heita Sixteen dot dogs eða eitthvað soleis... :D hehe
Þetta er tussumassív mynd einföl og sterk, myndi vilja hafa hana fyrir ofan rúmið mitt, það væri sætt :)

A prayer cliche, though lovely in black & white. Indeed, our true source of strength is in our connection with God through prayer, especially praying with others.

i understand what you're trying to say here, but i interpret this as a sign of weakness, especially with that title. well composed and technically well done, though.

Nice lighting, post processing is great!
04/14/2004 07:06:28 AM
Good picture, but not sure if it covers the challenge. Is having to ask for help strength?
04/14/2004 02:20:59 AM
where's the strength here if you're seeking for help? should have titled it "The Power of Prayer"...just my two cents...

great idea and captured in a simple yet beautiful way
