I like the palm in there, but might rotate a bit to the left, so your hand is flat?

Otherwise it's pretty dang cool.

i think it's a nice use of selective coloring. i agree with the comments about the palm, though.

I love the detail of the fingerprints and how the ring is in colour and the heart shadow. But i agree with above about the palm being a bit of a distraction. But overall i really like it.

I recognize this photo! I recently read an article in one of my many Photography magazines - showing how to do this image. Well done! I would crop out some of the foreground though to give the ring more prominence in the photo.

I would appreciate a reference on this magazine as I have seen the effect in a book before but thought that the hand effect was origional. Thanks

Interesting location - can you leave a note with some details on the photo and location

Its an old housing estate that was recently re-painted. Location would be country Singapore.

fantastic dark image - love it

Thanks ArneG. Have not seen much of you since the old WS days. Yes, this image has a dirty and nefarious feel to it and it highlights a different aspect of money for me. Thanks for the comment.

Well said Brandon. This is a perfect photo for this topic.

I keep being drawn to that expectant belly.
Always a miracle to me!I've seen lots of people with missing parts,but I feel that this is one brave woman.I hope she gets to see her grandchildren!

Beautiful

Dure et beau....

Due to my work, I see this almost every day. A lot of women are 'warning' me for, what they call for themself, ugly body. They don't realize it's part of my job and I see it multiple times a day.

I see these women (and don't forget: a breast tumor can also be found in a man's breast) from the beginning when they have both their breast and coming for their first mammography and later on. So many people, so many ways to cope with it.

Images like this help to get people concious about the need for checking your breast every month. Furthermore it's also helpfull for women (and men) who did had a breast amputation and feeling accepted in society, they don't have to feel 'ugly' anymore.

Ricardo, you did a good job with adding this photo on Vazaar. It's isn't shocking, it is reality.

Very hot :0

I have a lot to say about this one.

cool ps work

WOW, 3 Topics, 3 Features!! Congrats Mikhail!!

Thanks Beamer :)

Nice work - I agree with most of the comments above - the tonal range is good - I think perhaps it could be darkened overall a tad.

A pleasure to view

Ok i must say nice work!!! Nice shot! I think this one must be featurd!

Very nice antique feel here. My only suggestion is that the contrast is just the slightest bit flat. Other than that, great shot.

This is gallery material. I can't think of a higher compliment. Beautiful, humanistic, and tells a thousand tales. This is right up there with all the very best that portraiture has to offer.

great! everything. sharpness on spot. expression is great. composition as well. and it tells a story.

Very touching and great lighting

I love your "white&black".

Thank you very much DarcoTT and Arne.

beautiful and soft light you catch..

Gorgeous!! Well deserved feature!!

well done
