MotherAndSon*
10th Place

In this picture the hand is just a minimal element, but—for me—a fundamental one.
I show it here as an answer to Victor's remark about my "Listening" image .
Tell me what *you* think about these two photographs participating in the "Hands" challenge!

It is completely candid, Rob (I don't think they noticed me at all; they know me, though: this was shot at a family reunion). Thanks a lot to you and everyone else for commenting! — db.

I agree with Ed and the others and may I add that this one can be a winner. This one tells a story, communicates a feeling and the hand has a great part in this. Is this posed or candid? --Rob.

The hand definitely makes this image. -Ed Hahn

I think my comment today for "Listening" applies here as well, but in this case, it's not peripheral vision, but peripheral touch. Whereas in "Listening" we, the observer, are by virtue of the camera angle standing in the place of the other person having the connection, in this picture, we are observing the connection instead. -- Victor

I love how thier expressions and positions are identical! I didn't notice the hand until afterI read your blurb. When I glanced back I saw it and the heartstring tug factor went right up! Great shot! Ok, so what were they watching? Some sort of rite would be my guess. ~ Lonnit
