No, those hands do NOT look masculine! It is a well-thought out and well-executed photo. The position of the hands is GREAT! It looks like a woman thinking about her absent man......

If those hands are masculine, it would be a very "girlie man". ;-)

Look at the fingers, too slender and smooth for a man.

woohoo! this was one of the best shots in the challenge, in terms of lighting, design, and 'nailing' the challenge (pun slightly intended). I gave it an 8. I'm sure it offended a lot of people. Good work!

Superb concept - I loved this shot simply for it's 'in your face' directness. Great work Lisae!

For the last time, I don't have masculine hands!

But I take the point, you have to be obvious about these things. I keep my nails short because I use the computer so much. I never dreamed my fingers looked male... they're not hairy or anything, and it's only by coincidence (I didn't plan it) that you can't see either of the rings I wear on that hand. Oh well.

It's too bad the picture feels so grainy, you lose all the detail in the reflection!

ooo lala, that's quite a BIG monument. 10

The flesh tones mixed with the chrome and white and black are good, but I think the image might have been a little stronger with the adition of red fingernails.

Nice shot -7. In my top 10.
Just a tad "too white" for me, eg see crease at bottom right of "monument" that might not show normally, and hand gets a little distorted in color.

LOL cute :-)
10/16/2002 06:17:00 PM
hehe! this is great! i love the starkness--the white really enhances the subject and the hand really pulls it all together! very nice! 9--alecia

What is that?
10/16/2002 09:05:00 AM
Not a bad idea, but it looks like it's a man's hand and to be effective it should be a womans :)
10/16/2002 07:59:00 AM
This photo fails to touch on lust. Sex sure. Lust no. Women do not LUST after a dildo or vibrator. As for the photo... a sensuous touch on this object is suggestive, so that's good. The composition is nothing to right home about.

simple. Perfect elimination shadow.

This seems a bit on the stark side to me. Not very appealing.

Why didn't you use this for the reflections challenge? hehe
10/15/2002 05:57:00 PM
offensive!!! In bad taste!!! Poor use of your photography abilities. Think the next time
10/15/2002 05:11:00 PM
Great concept, well executed... Something bothers me in the position of the hand, but I'm at a loss to say what it is.... ~MyQyl~

A true monument.
10/15/2002 02:23:00 AM
it'd be better if it were a man's hand. muahaha.
10/15/2002 12:48:00 AM
Beautiful. My only comment to make this better, would be that the hand reaching for the um..subject. (lol) shoud have the nails painted to represent that it is a girl. I NEVER paint my nails, and I'm a girl, but I think that it would enhance this photo somewhat. This screams lust. I think it is a great idea, non offensive, and straight to the point. If this doesn't say lust, I don't know what does. Excelent shot. 9 Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

would be better if the hand was a womans... or wait!! is this envy?? lust? or both?? lol! good one
10/14/2002 09:42:00 PM
that's sinful!
10/14/2002 09:35:00 PM
Don't get it.
10/14/2002 09:17:00 PM
Nice evenly white background (something I have yet to accomplish). I wonder if the composition wouldn't be more pleasing with the hand closer to the top 1/3 of the monument. 8 Lisa

One of my top 5 this week. The style reminds me of an ad one might have seen in Playboy a couple of decades ago. 8 Jak

I like the title. I wish the lighting was better though. 7/10 for originality.

I knew at least one person was going to go here. At least this is tasteful to an degree and not containing any assosciated body parts (if you know what I mean). Nice shiny reflection.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/14/2002 05:55:00 PM
original and kind of funny. I hope that was the idea... IMO it would've helped if her hand looked more femenine. good one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/14/2002 05:37:00 PM
Not sure about this one. I'd presonally like to see a woman's hand. That would have gotten my mind racing, instead of thinking "bend over big guy". Just my $.02. 7

LOL!!
10/14/2002 02:01:00 PM
Great idea. Possibly the highlights are a little too blown even for a high key image (I'm looking at the mottling in the skin tones in particular here)? But that's just being picky as I didn't notice it on first viewing...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/14/2002 05:33:00 AM
This is a little on the edge for this site, not that I'm all against it. Is that a man's hand touching it? That's more ironic than anything. The photo is well taken. The composition here is making wonder a little though. The man's hand is kind of grainy, but the "thing" seems pretty darn focused and smooth. I wonder if that's a function of color and reflectivity more than anything. Good shot.

that's for dam sure!
10/14/2002 01:06:00 AM
i think maybe what might be better is a hand with painted nails--unless--5bobgaither
