A time tested composition but the light is too harsh. Good luck!

A great idea but the lighting seems to be too harsh and the photo is too small.

I like the concept, put not the quality of the photo. It's always better to deal with 640 px on the longer dimension, it makes your photo more enjoyable. I am not happy with the lighting, the tones are not really nice and a lot of texture is lost. I like though, the composition. Just an idea, it would add a lot to your photo to include the subject of business or the environment into the background. A blurred cityscape with sky-screapers, or some computers as the product, anything. It would make your photo live! (3)

a bit over exposed on the hands...

I don't see the person and I don't like the lighting of the picture, the idea is good though

Nice idea, lighting is a bit harsh, 6.

Nice idea and composition, but I think the overblown highlights ruin it a bit - almost looks like skeletons shaking hands.

I'm sure the lighting was difficult, but it doesn't seem to have worked
I don't like the light spots (7)

A little too much light on the hands somewhat keeps me from being able to just see the motion. But I like the concept.

Good concept. I think that the light bites spoil it.

I think you need light in front of the hands, not their back...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the light seams a little to harsh to me. it looks like it is burning through the hands.

I like the idea. It IS stock, IMO. The thing I'm not keen on is the upward lighting. It creates some blown out highlights and some distracting shadows.

It reminds me of when the aliens came out of the ship in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

A really intersting approach -well thought out, great concept.

The white areas on the hands just seem weird.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Classic subject, but execution is weak: too much space between and around hands, uneven lighting, harsh shadows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2009 04:35:23 PM
I wish there were more detail left in the hands... and less silhouette.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2009 12:07:06 PM
Not sure if you were going for this but this image is a little scary. The strong lighting gives the hands an almost skeletal quality. I like it though... in the most foreboding way...

Given the simplicity of the composition, I might have liked to have seen the hands centered a bit more.

Lighting is a little on the harsh side. Composition works for a stock photo tho...

From now on business deals will be conducted outside of the reactor chamber. ;-) Lighting is all wonky here. I am guessing you were going for some sort of look, but it doesn't work for me.

Nice idea, perfect stock photo theme, but execution lacks. Image seems too small (not a problem affecting the score, I just wish I could see better), but then this strong backlight does not help either... an average shot in the end.
