hands

child's hand prints on a wall in guatemala. comments welcomed

Hmmmm... makes you wonder what happened. that's always a good first reaction. I'd like to see the shot framed.

Makes me think of Anasazi hand prints meets street graffiti. There's also a hint of horror in the color here -- I hope that's paint and not blood. If you don't want your viewers confusing this with a crime scene, you might want to convert the image to grayscale.

nice shot..very simple and direct

Very nice shot...cool image, nicely composed. Simple but very effective! Well done.

hi, thanks for your comments ! Christian, I'm pretty sure it was just paint - there was no other red on the wall or ground. But I quite like the ambiguity of the shot and that it looks a bit sinister. I've tried converting to B&W and it didn't really work for me...

Wonderful in its simplicity - makes you wonder about the hands that made them, and if it really is blood. These simple prints tell thousands of stories - great capture.
