this is a nice take!
the color tones are beautiful and it's very sharp!
only thing is, that i don't see the hands as being my main focus. sry.

Nice. I love the DOF here.

Thanks Tanja, and I know what you mean; I did hesitate for a moment, but in the end I decided that the hands are one of the major elements of this photo. Sometimes we feel we have to knock people over the head with the theme and that nothing short of a full-framed hand shot will do...but without the hands, this flautist would be merely whistling.

thx for your thoughts eggplant.
i often mention my first thoughts and am glad to know what the photographer was thinking while making his decision & posting.
he rounds the pic so much more!

Quality photo.

For me this isn't as much about the hands as it is the instrument and the person playing it.

I think this fits for both themes, but it's stronger for music. If its meant for hands I think they should be where your eye is drawn. But its a cool shot.
