The character and history in those hands is compelling. The bracelet adds a nice touch of context. Perhaps you should consider moving your signature to outside the image, in the border (I believe this was mentioned on another image of yours as well?)

The story that this shot tells is great. The colors, lighting, sense of movement in the hands,all adds so much to it. Great job!

Thanks for the kind words. SC you are right the signature is lost here, I prefer to keep it in the image as a subtle watermark perhaps I can give it a little more attention and put it in a better place, in this image it would be top right.

Wow ! Sometimes hands tell a better story than faces. And this image is proof.

Ditto to all above. The aged hands and their position say a lot to me.

"Hands should be one of the top things on your shot list" but so often we ignore them. Great shot!

Hands speak their own language as this shot sure shows! Perhaps the "World Series" bracelet detract a nit and emphasize the documentary style of the shot, which inevitable in this situation, preserves its own charm.

Marisa I believe he had to have this as he was a demonstrator in the "Race Village"
