Very beautiful eyes, great framing and use of DOF.

arigram said exactly what I was thinking

I find the out of focus hand distracting and spooky. There is almost the suggestion that it's someone else's hand. Maybe a little less extreme out of focus would have lessened this undesirable effect in an otherwise fine portrait.

Thanks. I don't find the hand(s) distracting at all -- particularly in print version as opposed to the web.

Cheryl, I don't profess to be anything other than a rank amatuer but even I can see what a fantastic picture this.

Cheryl, another beautiful image! I like the hands just the way they are.
LOL, I love your new site. Very refreshing!

The eyes have it! Most times I have to bleach back to get anything like the limpidity of those peepers! A beautiful image.

I'm with lmdmd on this one. The hand's disjointed nature-either in focus or not is distracting.
