Very cool! I love how the stars are not all over the whole background, but merely shooting off of your hand. Very unique and interesting idea. Great job.

Thank you for your kind review.
Comment from Cephus
Well done collage, creative, well executed, effective. The layout is very good and like that the whole hand is not silhouetted by the bright light, makes the illusion more subtle and interesting. Excellent story telling.

Thank you very much. Stars are most brilliant in darkness I believe.

Comment from BreathtakingExposure
Nice work and a good idea. image has worked well and good work with the water conversion. I think the image might have been better without the ring on the finger and I would probably remove the right star but great concept

Thank you for reviewing and your input. Sorry about the ring but it's on my finger for the last 15 years or so. I can't get it off. Digital removal would probably absent my husband. I put the stray star there but I will think about it again.

I've had my wedding ring on for 6 years and although I can remove it the mark remains - strangley i cant say the same for my wife whose ring leaves no mark!!

What can I say? :-)
Comment from Ashleigh Fahy
I really like this picture. If it is a picture unless its a painting. Its different and unique. The stars reflecting off the water and with the hands shadow. It just looks amazing.

Thank you for your kind review.
It is neither photograph or painting. It is an mixed media collage merged and filtered from two different photos.
Comment from MinoYasue
Very creative illustration! It has such strong story telling. This is not a traditional portrait in a sense, but surely this illustrates your personality well. Gook luck for the contest and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Panorama
It's a great idea, and a good story line for space exploration. I am impressed by your hard work to get this image. The cluster of stars looks good; it looks more like a galaxy against the dark space with the hand reaching for it. It has good effect. Only thing I find distracting is the gloved hand with a ring. Otherwise, it's a good image.

Thank you very much for your kind review. There is no glove on the hand. Sorry my fingers are that shobby. I cant remove the ring either. It is there for the last 20 years and I can't get it of anymore.
Comment from Robin Gillow
This is really nice! What a lovely MM shot? Great BW colour, general view-ability and cropping. Cannot complain about the idea either. Good journalistic or story telling ability too. Robin

Comment from Daliant
An imaginative image. It is a very appealing creation. It works well in B/W.
I like the bright star shining past the small finger and the light over thethumb.
