Mar 10: What...?

I had something in mind when I created this. But now it's processed, I thought it might be interesting to hear what (if anything)it signifies to others. Let me know

My hands, camera on tripod, self timer. As ever, no Photoshop trickery beyond my usual tone/contrast adjustments.

Well, my idea was reaching out to catch a spark of inspiration. Something that I've been having trouble with recently! The 'spark' is a small flashgun fired by an optical slave. Although I'm pleased with the result, it does look like 'ispiration' has slipped through my fingers! What to do next... aggggh!

This is a gorgeous shot! This makes me think of "possibilities for the future" - kind of like you hold the world in your hands. You can do anything!

It might be creation itself -- things beginning by the making of our hand. Then again, depending on the context of the image, it might also be a warning about mucking about with nuclear waste. So it certainly could be open to a wide latitude of interpretations.
Oh heck, if this imge as posted in the bathroom, it just might mean wash your hands.
But do tell, what did YOU have in mind when you made this?

Wonderful shot! Oh, what man has wrought with his own hands...

Could it be that you are now ready to show ALL of your restored Beetle to the world??

A provocative image David. I would interpret this as we all have "light" within us unseen with great potential to achieve great things. A healing energy.

Oops... didn't mean that I would be bursting YOUR bubble... just the bubble of the ending of her story.. I don't want to give anything away (and hell I don't know anything anyway!) :oÞ

WOW, David!! This is incredible. Beautiful toning and contrast. The position of your hands is wonderful... like you're opening up a great secret to behold. The light is amazing. I'm wondering, because I'm an avid reader of Linda's diary, does this mean great news coming? (Hope I'm not bursting a bubble!!)
