Description First thing people notice is the heart but what is usually missed is that the two hands arent from the same person. Ones mine and the other is my girlfriend. Cropped out the top of my fingur accidentally but I dont think its lacking because of it. Not to mention, tight cropping is "in" these days

I LOVE this photo! I saw it over a year ago, and a few weeks ago it just popped up in my mind. But I couldn't find it, so I was sad...

But now I did! Love it!

theres a gap in your fingers that is very distracting...though it is a nice piece...and yeah didnt notice the difference in hands...the thumbs move your eye away from the heart rather then to it becuase they are pointed up rather then flowing with the rest of the fingers...and there are a lot of the same greys in the background and the heart which flaten everything just a little tiny bit...just darken the heart...as evil as that sounds...but i DO really like this piece

I like the symbolisim this conveys. The black and white is charged and adds a nice dramatic edge. Nice touch.
Beautiful job. I can see why this is such a big hit.

You guys must have taken a bunch of shots to get the shape perfect, right?

k ive looked at this picture like a thousand times and didnt notice that the hands are from different people! shows how good an observer i am, not

You and your girlfriend must have a good relationship, judging from what ive seen so far. Its so adorable! hope you two have fun this week, especially tomorrow night! have fun on my least favorite day of the year, well this year it is anyways.

me and my mom just realized u live in Seattle! her best friend lives there, anyways have fun!

Kind of fuzzy though..but it think it works! nice

michaelfoley [2004-02-11 19:27:15 +0000 UTC]

heh, very deceptive. I hadn't noticed it being two different hands when I first glanced at it. Otherwise I would have thought she needed to wax her right hand Nice job

baby221 [2004-02-11 18:57:11 +0000 UTC]

An adorable concept Although methinks perhaps you should sharpen the focus on the pair of hands, and leave the background blurred to add extra emphasis - that way the viewer can get all of that wonderful sentimental detail. I do love this piece though, the monochrome was a good colour choice and the border complements it nicely.

Very nice photo. I like how you have the two different hands forming the heart (as you said in your description). A great piece.

Vitreous-Comics [2004-01-13 20:32:56 +0000 UTC]

This is an idea that is very well realised. I think the concept could have been corny but you have caught it really well. There is a lot of expression in those hands, the composition is nice and the grainy black and white fits the mood well.

happienoodleboy [2004-01-13 20:03:01 +0000 UTC]

very cute and has very positive meaning i like it, maybe could be a bit smoother, perhaps fiddle with the levels and/or contrast to make it nicer, still very good i love the idea behind it, that which is most important

I love the concept, its sweet, full of emotion, and I like how it looks slightly tilted cos' you cropped part of your hand/

Very nice concept, the shot is brilliant too...

...perhaps it could've used more light, and been slightly less grainy...but it looks amazing all the same!

d33pimpact [2003-11-24 17:27:00 +0000 UTC]

Very very well done . Now that I look at it, I can slightly see the difference between your hand, and your girlfriends. Anyway, the only thing that kind of "bugs" me is the grainyness *shrugs*. I don't really think that's a problem with this photo though . Greast concept and very well done

Oh my ever loving, I think we're twins. My friend and I always put our hands together like that when we say goodbye or whatever...
I've taken a picture of my own hands doing it (which didn't work out as well as I planned so I didn't post it), and we meant to do this sometime...
Anyway, great photo, definitely a fav!

You can tell they're different hands. Very well done. I love the concept! This is such a great piece. I love the originality of it and the fact that it's black and white. It portrays such strong, warms, emotions. Well done!
