This one is quite self-explanatory :) For the technically-minded, I started with a color snapshot, used the Gimp's channel mixer to convert it to B&W, and then layers and levels to bring out the hands and darken the background. Enjoy!

Your choice of B&W adds so much to this shot--bringing out the hands so well. Excellent work Martin!

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights!

This is a strong piece. Besides the fact that the main subjects are too centered for my taste I have nothing but praise for this. ;) I really like the hand in the background as a repetition (and in part a contrast) of the theme. Looks like it could have been taken on the subway or something.

Thanks for your comments!
Klas: I agree with the centered subject... Maybe I should try cropping...
(btw, those are my parents' hands... I took the pic on the same cruise I took "Drama over Stockholm")

I love the idea of holding hands but the image is hard to view.The black and white makes the message clearer and avoids distractions to anything else but the hands. This would be great framed and given to them on their anniversary witha beautiful poem about their love and what a wonderful example their love has been for you.
