*bows to the pun* heh heh Handscape. i see what you did there!But down to business,I really enjoy this peace for its simple dreamlike quality, and air of mystery. The cupped overgrown hands suggest a story behind it and, I am an incurable sucker for a story.Further I enjoy the light airy feeling the water and neutral sky create contrasting with the dark stony feeling of the hands. The green foliage is also very nice, not to perceive or over developed it fits in nicely suggesting ivy and moss just so, without being over bearing and taking away form the a fore mentioned dream like quality of the peace.The water polled in the hands has a beautiful reflective sheen about it, flowing off the palms nearly seamlessly .I am particularly fond of the way the water doesn't remain in a single opaque rush on the way down, but becomes less compact as the eye is led down the fall. vanishing into the delightfully airy mist.I could go on about the water....My biggest complain is the positioning of the hands, it seems to me like cupping your hands like that is almost impossible without seriously bending your pinky. But then again I'm not a moss covered statue so maybe its just my hands. (please take a moment to imagine random people at their computer screen trying to cup their hands like that to check.... you're welcome. )In all this truly is one of my favorite handscape images of all time and I woudl be delighted to see it in a more elaborate setting, unlikely as it is.Thank you for taking the time to read my rather rambling opinion.Sincerly,Kathron
