Skilled Hands

[Yisehaq]

Hi All,
I took these sometime ago, but haven't had the chance to process them until now. The puprose is to show some skilled hand at work. What do you think?

Wow, I would say, "skilled hands". Nicely captured at thier art, but love the "idle hands" having a rest in shot #3 the best. Perfectly composed.

Quite an interesting set Yisehaq!
Shot 3 is my fave for the awesome light and gesturing hands.

Also like number 3 the best, it is the most dramatic out of all of them.

Another vote for #3 as well, very powerful image. #1 is very nice, but you cropped some of his left hand.

As has been said - number 3 is pretty special - the light is wonderful. I am also somewhat partial to the second one. Filling the frame with the small carving, and having the fingers create the frame really emphasises the fine detail.

Great idea for a theme for this set.

Shots of working hands have always intrigued me and this set continues that fascination. The 3rd is a powerful photograph in my view.

Thank you so much everyone!
I have to agree also #3 is my fav. It was a picture of an old man who makes his living by making crosses to put around the neck. When I asked to shoot him working he was so reluctant. After his friends convineced him, he just allowed me to take the picture of the crosses not him. So, I turned to the other side of his very small working space where I saw the light was interesting. It suprises me where you get your better pictures.
