Flexible fingers

I got home very late tonight from a family function. I still hadn't shot anything I was happy with, so I looked around the house for inspiration. I saw these rubber gloves hanging off the cupboard door under the sink, and something interested me about the way they hung.

I like the texture of the tips of the gloves and in particular the way the rubber shapes itself. I know it's inane and you may find it boring, but I just have no time left! I have tried to make the image more interesting in post-processing.

It's a big day tomorrow; it's my anniversary! I'm not married (yet), but I went on my first date with Suman (my fiancée) 12 years ago on the 14th January. 12 years ago! I was just a young whipper-snapper, aged only 18. How time flies.

Canon 7D, f/2.5, 1/200, ISO-100
Creepy!

Wow - eerie! Love the shadows. Great shot!

Love it...this could be a movie scene theme - there has to be a horror movie out there somewhere with surgical gloves...by the way the focus, detail and processing are awesome!

Haha, awesome! I like the different textures and feels in this shot. I once tried shooting rubber gloves and failed miserably, so I think this is great!! And wow, I didn't know you guys met when you were only 18! That's so sweet and romantic :)
