Thanks for all the comments everyone!

@ ancientimages: No probelm :) I focused on the rose hips in the background and brought my hand in close to the camera. The bleeding edge around the fingers was there in the exposure from being out-of-focus but I also brought up the definition and contrast which helped bring out the glassy look.

@ EstimatedEyes: There is no intended religious association with the rose hips on the palms, purely artistic.

7 - Like the concept, would like to see more of the 'hand painting' (OOF fore berries/hips on hand) and perhaps a less 'horizontal framing' - just seems unbalanced, especially with the thumb/left side of the image, if you're keeping the fingertips in - but your call.

my own hand bringing the buds to my nose, the background tone and texture create a very creepy feel

This is really a funky shot. I like it, kinda reminds me a dream that I could remember if only I had woken up a minute earlier...

love it. were you going for the stigmata, or is that just an artistic accident? either way, nicely done.

I really like how this could pass as a painting. Love all the textures and color and blur. Really well done. Voted earlier.

This is very cool.

The hand is recognizable as such yet has formed something entirely out of its original scope and part of the background.
