WOW, Penelope, great shot I like the colour contrast and the “hanging” playing hands. Perfect execution and postp. Jesus

Thankyou everyone for your nice comments
This shot was quite simple really, I used my partner for the second pair of hands.
We both wore black pullovers. There were 2 floodlights reflecting from the ceiling and walls and I took the shot using the self timer on the camera. Postprocessing - I cropped the image and changed the levels to homogenise the black and to increase the lighting effect on the hands.....Penelope

Penelope, I really like the interesting activity these two sets of hands are engaged in...a good/creative idea. The execution involving the background/garment choice, the positioning, and the lighting is really well done. The hands and string are eye-catching and really "pop out" here. MFC

I agree with Deb, this is a beautiful magical shot. Would you mind sharing how you acheived this effect ? John(ebones)

Excellent execution of a very creative idea, Penelope! I feel as though I'm looking at a magician's illusion.---Deb

Absolutely beautiful Penelope. The lighting, the colors, the black sleeves and background work in wonderful harmony with each other. Formidable!! Fremiet
