Interesting take on this famous painting. Very creative.

Tom, the purlple is drop shadow from de center white spark, wich was made with a simple 4 pxl pencil.

Well meets the theme but it is the sort of image I will have to view a while, as though I like what you have achieved there is something about that.....well I have yet to put my finger on it! No pun intended.

Ahhh, Mattana should be glad to have inspired you with the last challenge. Nice idea and very well done.

"Purple fringing" (Chromeric Aberation - if I spelled it right)... your new version looks much better to me.

BTW, Tom! What's CA? (Sorry the ignorance)

Hi!
Thanks, all of you, for your coments. I know this is not simple and, in some way, it's a matter of personal taste.
In this one, I'm very far away from my original ideia, but I think it works beter.

I like the idea, don't think I like the colors. Is that CA or did you chose to add the purple? I would guess that was a very difficult zolt to capture!

Believe it or not : I had this one in mind too ... but you beat me ;-)
I like the execution in general but have reservations on the 'spark' thing too. Great entry anyway !

Clever idea. I'd consider pp-ing out the shadows cast by the thumbs; sort of makes it an obvious snapshot. cbses

Hi Jose,
I like the idea behind the picture very much. :-) It fits the theme well.
I think it might add more to the picture, if the hand on the right is a bit lower - God and man after all! The spark is a bit bright and has changed the colors of the fingers. I am just wondering whether a sunburst effect might be better to get the idea of the moment of happening. Just a thought.
Cheers
Mattana
