Jan Van Den Bos Handfull of flowers
Hi Jan,
I really like this picture and I came back to look at it a few times. The composition is interesting and one can interpret your message in various ways. The way the hands are held, the aged look, the tenderness of the flowers and how it all comes together makes it work for me.
Thanks for sharing.
Groetjes,

Jan,
It's also capturing the sunlight. So there's more than a gesture of tenderness to the flowers.
This is an impressive idea that should be continued in more pictures. It's too important too just make one snap. This is a motif of considerable potential. If you are so inclined, choose this as a project for "Riskit!" forum and develop the theme over the next year.

For this challenge, does the object with the hand(s) have to be organic?

Yes, Real hands! After that, it's just imagination!

This is a self-portrait. ISO 400, f/5.0, 1/50. It's called Silent Music. The frozen hand represents the freezing in Parkinson's and the intended message is that we still make music whether anyone hears us or not.

Bonjour Rachel
By far on this thread, your image is more delicate and sensitively photographed with a large sense of "mise en scène".
I can hear a soft and slowly modulated music from that atmosphere.
This gives me good mood for some C&C
I would have cropped the sleeve…
Amazingly I would have liked the fingers not to be "frozen" on the contrary of the hand itself, it would look less posed, but that's techinically a challenge!
Thank you for showing

Thank you, Nicolas. I agree about the sleeve. I hadn't noticed it before.
