... Frank 2 ...

I particularly like the positioning variation on this one. It seems to me the same hands as in "Frank 1" but tilted CCW and with additional space on the right. The toning works here but I like # 1's better in that respect but prefer this one with respect to positioning of the hands in the frame.

Yes, it is the same capture as 'Frank 1'. I wanted to explore the feeling of his amazing hands when given room to 'move'. You prefer the previous toning, eh? I do too, actually... might redo this as per your suggestion... Thank you, friend. M :)

Beautiful!

I also like the tone of the other shot. But, I love this composition.

I remember my grandparents hands and how I was so taken by the lines and veins and rough spots as a child. Michael this is a truly beautiful shot.

 

Thank you, Janis. I too remember my grandparents hands... but they are no longer on this earth... I have not had the honour of their company for a long, long time. It still hits me hard sometimes to know that my two girls will never know their great grandparents... life is truly sad at times.... not depressing, just sad. Take care. M :)
