Very nice! Love the little surprise that it is the pinky and not the thumb of the younger one that is standing out. I think I would have preferred slightly more contrast between the young and the older hand, the older one slightly darker. Should be possible in the black and white conversion, using the channel mixer, as I imagine there would be more red in the palm of the old hand than on the back of the young one. Still, very nice as is!!! --Olaf

I love the compostition and position of the hands - fantastic. I feel though, that this image is not completed - that it still needs some processing. Perhaps some sharpening or some grain. There's just somehow not enough texture, definition or something. It's got great potential, I'd just like to see it "finished" - whatever the heck that means! Sorry I couldn't be more specific - that's actually the problem though! LOL! Wonderful capture! ~ Lonnit

Great! Like the idea and how you managed to turn it into a fine image.

Agree with Victor - the pinky mimicking the thumb, and the thumb mimicking the pinky is an excellent component to the image. -Ed Hahn

I really like how the baby's left hand is arranged like a right hand, mirroring the father's hand. -- Victor
