Very nice. Well composed, good tonal gradation. If it's soft, that's
not apparent in the web image.

I've actually done about three sessions (maybe four, forget) of "Mom

In the second session, I didn't seem to have enough ambient light or

and didn't think I got anything useable.
But I was looking through them recently and decided one or two weren't
bad.
(I downloaded Irfanview and used its slideshow, which will do Canon
RAWs --
probably pulling out the embedded jpgs. Splashed across the whole
screen, I got a
better view of some. Actually it's a very good way to preview photos.
Thanks
to those who have recommended it.)
This was taken eight to nine months ago.
I think the thumb could be better. Not quite in focus, or maybe it is
in
focus, but it has too much high light. Anyway, it looks a little too
soft to me.
Maybe it could be masked or something in PS CS. I tried darkening high
lights,
but that was not specific enough.
Anyway, what do you think? Does it qualify to be included in a Mom hand
gallery?
Or is the thumb too distracting? And if so, what would you do to fix
it up?
