Tracy, i think this is just great..shows great experimental sense and graphic instinct (my favorite combo, i think!) To me, these hands look like their are blocking the advance of someone or something, and as such, their blurriness suggests drama and action. Your exposure is great and the black and white tones are smooth and just right (for me, anyway). i see you're a HS student and i think it's just great that you're here participating with all of us..lucky you, embarking on a 2 yr. photography course next year. You're gonna be great! Thanks so much for your comments on my photos Ninetween and Fifteen. My kids don't let them shoot them very often so i was lucky to sneak these past them ;)) Take care, Tracy..i'm putting you in my friends' list..kat~
