I was drawn to the story behind these feet, worn and tired after a long days work. The texture of this image is great and highlights the urban feel.The toning works beautifully and i could see this being great as a large print. Great capture!

This image stood out due to the texture and various shapes the hands are making. Its hard to see where one starts and the other leaves off. This would be beautiful as a large print, well done, I hope you print this for the wall!

I like this image, there is nice sense of movement and the framing works well. To improve I would have loved to have seen a little more movement blur, perhaps a slightly slower shutter speed, just to reflect the speed and power of the legs in this image. Great shot!

I was immediately drawn to the composition of the hands in this images. They frame the main subject nicely and show the personal and emotional nature of this image. I would like to see this image in a strong, textured black & white as the flowers behind do pull your slightly. Beautiful image.

Brief

Our bodies are complex machines, and each and every organ and limb is a finely-tuned tool with its own specific part to play.  Body part photography is a creative and emotionally evocative variation on the 'portrait' theme that leaves so much more to the viewer's imagination, and really focuses in on our most intimate experiences. This is a photo-subject with heaps of potential.

Although technically and artistically this image didn't stand out, the story behind it did and shows just how important photography is to different people for different reasons. It is far more than just lighting and and camera settings, it's storytelling. Great capture!

I enjoyed the concept and the execution of this image.

It might have worked even better without the ring as the light on the silver slightly pulls my attention in that direction.

This is a great idea, nicely lit and real fun!
