Also, it seems that it would be nice to very easily realize one hand is yours and one is hers. Perhaps a different pose that would clearly indicate - like two left or right hands or difference of clothing or something. As is, your hand is hidden enough by hers that along with shallow dof, it is not readily apparent that there are two of you. Maybe even both of her hands holding one of yours or vice versa.
Anyway, I really like the idea, but it needs some more work to make a truly great shot - certainly has the makings for it. -- Best regards, Bruce ======= Actually, with that particular pose that was the idea (that it would not be readily apparent that it was two different hands). Sort of an abstraction thing. But I agree about the DOF. It also might need more contrast too. I found when I printed it small on the insert it darkened up, but the larger one should probably have more contrast. I also liked a pose that looked more like a handclasp -- top down look at side of hands clasping, if you get me. That pose does look like two hands and I want to it again. Maybe there is a way I can tripod it, but it was difficult to hold hands and also look through the camera on a tripod. To say the least. I was getting a crick in my neck, but I may have to try to tripod it if I use the Tamron 90mm macro. Thanks for the input and encouragement -- definitely going to try it again. Marnie ;-)
