    I don't know what to think.
    Them seem strange just like baby's hands do a little but to the opposite extreme. I keep wanting to look at them.
    But another reason them seem unreal and I don't know what to take them as at first, even though you have the title, is because you lost both thumbs and it doesn't quite look look like a human hand at first.
    Nice idea, do you have anymore with the thumbs that I could see the difference.

    sorry, but she lost both thumbs in a saw mill accident over seventy years ago-

    she's adapted quite well though-

    Hey George

    Interesting capture and processing. What did you apply to the shot in post?

    I'm not sure the background adds anything but it's still a good shot. thumb.gif

    here's a copy of the raw file-

    she has her hands in her lap, bg is her dress-

    did the usual l&c-

    used a gaussian blur/soft light blending mode (I think)-

    Tell her to stop bitting those nails...she has beautiful hands. Lost her thumbs in saw-mill accident? My goodness how awful. Nonetheless I like the lighter version of the hands. Good job!
