A very interesting idea, resulting in a good B&W picture. Perhaps a little too light bottom left which might have been helped if you went wide screen proportions and raised the bottom a little. Just enough light on the hand to make it not a silhouette which works well.

I like your idea very much. The light at the right bottom corner is a bit much. But the overall photo is very nice. Very unique and interesting. Verena

This is a creative concept you did it great .

Lovely indeed.
May be interesting to enter into the "Chiaroscuro" contest.

I really like the tonal range you have used in this photograph. I love black and white and this is perfect for it. It wouldnt look half so good in colour. Nice imaginative post :)
