Portrait Hands

I am stepping back into trying to follow and post for the 52 week challenge. This week is a portrait of hands. Still using my lensbaby and shooting B&W.

[Catherine]

This is beautiful. So poignant. Every detail is there. A fav

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent shot and detail

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Oh, this is beautiful and precious!

[Octogenarian]

This is beautiful.

[Debbie]

Wonderful use of light

@octogenarian Wow, thank you so much for the fav. I always see myself through a different lens (a young filter). My hands serve me very well so I should celebrate my wrinkles.

[Walks @ 7]

@megpicatilly Thank you, I am grateful for the fav. My old hands sneak in and show themselves now and then. Wrinkles are part of the game.

[Walks @ 7]

@graemestevens Thanks, wrinkles are just experience - at least I tell myself that.

[Walks @ 7]

@overalvandaan Thank you so very much. @deborah63 Thank you, I only used one light and tried to lessen the lensbaby effect just a tad.

[Ashley]

Wrinkles just mean you're still alive and you've probably got a story or two to tell! Nice shot!

[Taffy]

The textures are fabulous.

[Walks @ 7]

@shesnapped Thank you, you are so right about tales to tell.
@taffy Thank you so much.

[Christopher Carr]

Love it!!

[Suse♡]

These hands have seen life and they are beautiful

[Walks @ 7]

@cscarr97 Thank you, I am beginning to appreciate my wrinkles more and more.
@susale Thank you, it is a bit strange to study ones own imperfections but they really aren't, they are as you say 'life markers'.

[Francoise]

love it

[Walks @ 7]

@francoise Thank you.

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

Wonderful!

[Stephanie]

Nice capture. I like the way your hands are held together, with the focus on the ring.

[Walks @ 7]

@frappa77 Thank you, B&W doesn't show all of my wrinkles- I hope. @stephanies Thank you, I have to admit that ring isn't real only a piece of acrylic but it made my wrinkles a less prominent.

[Dave59]

Terrific shot.

[Jeff in VT, USA]

Amazing composition and great effect.. Really interesting in b&w, too..

[Walks @ 7]

@jeffinvt Thank you very much, some old hands just glad to be of use. B&W is kinder to wrinkles.

[Walks @ 7]

@sketch2 Thank you, I had fun but am still learning how to use this lensbaby.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Absolutely fabulous.

[Walks @ 7]

@pickerandagrinner Thank you so very much.

[Chris Johnson]

Your lens baby worked sooooo effective here! The moment is amazing!

[Walks @ 7]

@cjphoto Thank you, just wish the wrinkles were a bit less.

[Elytra]

I didn't realize I wasn't following you already! Great details and textures, a very emotional shot

[Walks @ 7]

@elytra Don't fret any, I am just happy to be involved with 365- this is a wonderfully supportive community. I am having a ball doing my art and learning from so many great photogs like you!
