A bit late entry but still an entry. :)
These were actually my preparations for Hands Challenge and I wanted to take a shot of my husband's hands while playing bongos. Since he was at work during daylight, I've asked our son to play them for a while so that I can experiment with light a little bit. Actually, results were better than I expected so I've decided to post this experimental version. After all, I still didn't manage to capture my husband in daylight. :)

Just awake and I dived straight in ...
Spotted this and transferred to the theme file.
I'll REALLY wake up in a few more minutes.

Very nicely done, Branka, and Filip's hands work quite well here as his hands are younger and smaller. Nicely composed with the hard wood floor creating some nice lines. My only nit-picky comment is the black corner in the top left of the picture. Nice choice of DOF. Well done!

Hi, Branka
Nice shot and composed with soft color. I can hear the sound of your husband's bongos.
Perfect results!

Nice job with the subdued colors, Branka. I'm imagining the movement of your son's hands. Your title is cute, too!

Good luck!

great one, me I love the drums, I learned a little how to play... here maybe you could try something with a different timing, to create the "sound" by the moving hands:)
