I am fully aware of the uneven and dirty fingernails. I wanted it left that way to portray childhood. How many times did you have dirty fingernails as a kid...and a couple of broken ones to go with it after playing in the dirt....?
First Love...usually occurs when you are a child...and when using just hands...I wanted the personality of the children to come through...not some pristine model child who isn't allowed to be themselves!

I'm surprised this didn't score better, it's quite original and very well done. But, then nothing surprises me these days as far as scoring is concerned. In fact, anything over mid-5 seems to be a real accomplishment no matter how exceptional the imagery.
Geez What is it with people who want to nit pik all the little inconsequential details of a photograph?? It's a picture. It tells a story. It's very realistic. 20 votes below a 4... COME ON PEOPLE!!!
The pose of the left hand is not very elegant (hidden thumb, chubby fingers). The right pose is good, but the contrast and sharpness is a bit unfortunate (like dirty finger nails). The composition would maybe be improved if less of the arms were shown.
But as you see, I studied this picture for a long while, which means that it is excellent!
