Challenge #80: Hands (COMPLETED)

view profile

*Bundy* is a group administrator *Bundy*  Pro User  says:

Challenge Number 80 is COMPLETED.

START DATE: June 23rd
Photos submitted in this challenge must be taken and dated from the challenge start date until the deadline. This means that ANY PHOTO taken or dated prior to the start date WILL BE DELETED. No exceptions and any offending photos will be removed!


CHALLENGE #80 - Hands

A face can tell a story without words being spoken. I think the same can be said for a persons hands. Whether they are young, old, worn, soft or damaged, hands can often tell a lot about a persons life.

The subject of this photo must be the Hand or Hands of one or more people. The lighting, post-processing and final presentation is up to each photographer's own choice.

I think the challenge is fairly straight forward but if you require any clarification, send me a message.

Submit your best new photo that falls under this challenge.


Deadline for Submissions - July 10, 2009 12:00am GMT (July 9th 7:00pm EST)


- You can enter one photo in the contest.
- Please post the medium version of your photo.
- The photo must be taken with a D80 only.
- Your submission must be taken by you. Do not enter another photographers work.
- Your EXIF data on your photo must be available for viewing or the photo will be disqualified and deleted from the challenge without warning. If it is not available you may contact an Admin to provide details or get permission to submit it. All others will be removed...no questions asked.

Once you've entered the contest you may replace your entry with another if you feel it's better provided the deadline hasn't passed and it remains within the rules of the group.

You must vote once in the challenge after it is closed and NOT for your own submission no matter how worthy it may be. :-)
Also at the time of voting you are encouraged to leave comments on any photos you like or any constructive criticism is also welcome as long as it is done in a friendly manner.

#12 A hand tells a story.

And despite a little patriotism, this photo is meant to be in the "Hands" challenge.

#1
The ethereal nature of it and the lighting are nice. #9 was a close second I like the tones but the pose is almost corpse like. Not that that is bad, just a bit disturbing.

#8 gets my vote. It's a nice moment and the story is clear.

I like number 11 but I'm not sure it's clear that the hand is the subject of the photo and that's what this challenge was about. I could be wrong though..it happens on rare occasions.

I like #9 for the tonal quality. I think that has become Ngon's signature go to style and it works nicely.

I also like #'s 5, 6, 19 and 20.

# 16 or # 9
number 9, because it makes you look twice.
number 16, because of the dramatic feel.
number 9, because if you look again
it has a similar drama too.
So: # 9

Just a head's up that I will be late tallying the votes on this challenge as I'm going to be away from the computer until later this evening. I'll update as soon as I can.

Thanks and keep those votes coming if you haven't already.
