- OH YES IT IS !!!! ITS my finger !!!
- no, it's this art piece that has a picture of a pipe and under it is says "this is not a pipe" meaning it's just a picture of the pipe. Thus that is not a finger, it's a picture of a finger - jaxjesse1

flickr2sea (71 months ago | reply)
Oh...this is really extreme closeup!! :-)
rgdaniel (71 months ago | reply)
Brilliant - total fave. Something I look at fairly often, whenever I check my blood sugar, but never this close up. I may steal your idea !!

Chris, this photo and the message it carry's are a credit to your photographic skills, and a measure of the man behind the camera.
Sally Mayne (70 months ago | reply)
holy cow.. that focus is insane! the finger creases look like trenches! Very dramatic too. blood, its in you to give.
gira (70 months ago | reply)
Ouch! My first thought was diabetes... runs in my family so when I saw this I though of checking blood sugar levels. Nicely shot, though!
shacky Keith A Lancaster (70 months ago | reply)
good idea and awell taken shot

nyomee wallen (70 months ago | reply)
Nobel thought and idea. I thought was you are testing for blood sugar level. So sharp that I could see all of your finger’s circular ridges

I thought it was a pink cake with a cherry on top when I looked at the thumbnail!

A regular sight for me - I have diet controlled diabetes. Love the way the blood is seeping into the ridges on your fingertip. Great shot!

Travelinjim (70 months ago | reply)
You know what's interesting? I can't give blood in the U.S. because I lived in Europe for more than 6 months during the mad cow scare. Apparently, my blood is tainted now. I guess if I lived in Europe, it'd be welcome again.
As for the picture, excellent shot!
As for the message, really really important and worthwhile!
dimitrimaex (70 months ago | reply)

kayodeok (70 months ago | reply)
Lovely textures and details (though the sight of blood scares me)
wester (70 months ago | reply)
good photo, good cause.
@travelinjim:
Even more interesting: I do live in Europe (in the Netherlands) and I can't give blood either because I was in England for about 6 months during the mad cow scare. And I even was vegetarian during that time, but they can't make exceptions for that ...
ChrisBrookesPhotography.co.uk (70 months ago | reply)
thanks all for your comments!!! and its strange though understandable about stringent controls on blood donations ! and annieta i don't know if its a hair!! i can't even remember which finger i photographed !!!!
cheers from chris
