Along with my comments about what we include in a shot should contribute to the strength of the image, I also like to ask the question about color vs. black and white. Does using color add to the shot, in other words, is the photograph about color? If not, would a black and white treatment be stronger, allowing us to concentrate on pure form and value instead?
See how the color shot of the hand has a blue cast and how the color of the skin doesn't bring much to the party? I did a straight conversion to b and w and darkened or vignetted the outside to help create a focal point in the center of the hand?
I love the changes you made. It definitely brings more emphasis to the lines and character of his hand.
