I have the world's most unphotogenic hands.

I was going to use tinfoil under water, but figured I woudl get nailed by the 'not enough mirror' crowd, so i put an actual mirror under it. Wasn't quite big enough, so you can see the edge of it in the picture. Tried to crop it out, but it made for a really bad composition.

It's like you've dipped your hands in liquid glass. Very cool.

I guess this is water, and yes again I will write that I'm not too open minded for this contest, I see a reflection but I don't really see a mirror

I love the 'grunge' feeling in this one, and also the strong detail, and textures.....
