Ok so this one needs a little explanation. Mum has a stuffed liver, and while she is now fine and is perhaps in the best shape of her life, the liver damage has left her with very thin skin. Under UV lighting that skin goes translucent. As a result all the veins and blood vessels under the skin are quite visible. This is the shot I took for an comp assignment on "Hands". Other than levels and a crop its all in camera. C&C most welcome, click the image for the larger on black photograph.

Nigel,

I think this might have been better executed had the hands actually been busy doing something. To me, they're left suspended, and there should be more.

Maybe holding something, or resting on a table?

Dunno ... but I'm left wanting something else here.

Fair point. I think I like that one because it reminded me of a weird colourful German Expressionistic image.

This is the other one I shot.

I like the 2nd version, would love to see some more experimentation too though...good stuff!

Much better.
