Stress Shows

[Dana's Eye]

I'm stressed. I can even see it in my hands.

They look more relaxed than stressed. They are not clenched but look resting after some hard work. Nice shot.

I agree with Bob...I like the shot, but they don't look that stressed to me either.

very nice shot - contrast is awesome. Such a story this will conjure up!!

Excellent use of contrast, though the way your right shin is lit is a little distracting.

And the hands look like you have a lot of stress, but you've found a moment of reprieve.

Nice work on the B/W...excellent lighting and contrast. Did you use natural light, flash, or strobe? In any case, well done. Thanks for sharing.

Great feedback. I agree with the distraction on my shin. I should have used a snoot or barn door to modify the key light.

I used two 580 EXII's, one as a key light camera left and the other as fill bouncing off a wall that is camera right. Thanks for the note.

What I like the most about this image is that it has the capacity to tell of sooo many different stories. The processing is also wonderful. A job well done!
