    Tim,
    It's a great image.. thumb.gif
    But I can't push away thoughts that it's been "draganized".. ne_nau.gif
    Please tell me it's just plain dirt.. bowdown.gif

    It is a dirt recipie
    Wet hand in dog water dish
    place hand in outdoor planter and ball fist in loamy peaty dirt.
    Take picture and realise "not dirty enough"
    go to garage and add oil to hand from last oil change on Motorbike
    Take picture and realise "not dirty enough"
    dip hand in dirt again.
    Take picture and realise "not dirty enough"
    Grumble "stupid Dgrin challenge"repeatedly
    brainstorm go to firepit and get wood charcoal and ash from last months outdoor fire, smear and crumble.
    Take picture and realise "not dirty enough"
    Grumble "stupid Dgrin challenge"repeatedly
    brainstorm again and use oily rag to smear and embed above filth.
    take one handed pictures and chimp said pictures with one hand(I am quite proud of this achievment)rolleyes1.gif

    eat lunch er... I mean clean hand then eat lunch .

    I think "draganizing" might have been easier :D now that you mention it.

    Great shot, it really works for me. I love contrast of the black and white in the palm print.

    Great B&W conversion, i can see this doing well.

    Congrats.

    Tim, and you thought I had too much time on my hands! How would this look. Close eyes and imagine(after you read this) a coal miner coming out and walking down the street holding his daughters hand. His black and dirty hand contrasting against her clean hand. But just a picture of the hands. I won't have time to make that happen....a mechanic would work too!

    This is a great shot. Simple idea and well executed. I like the simple ideas best.
