friends shaking hands,
originally uploaded by tysolna.

When I first got my digital camera, I made a lot of pictures, most of them rather, shall we say, experimental. Ok, let's call a spade a spade - they were crappy, and not really meant to be good; I was simply messing around with the camera. Don't we all?
Anyway, I rarely deleted pictures; after all, bytes don't cost money. And when I was asked to contribute to an "art contest" in an online community I frequent, I was only happy to do so. I sent in the picture you see here, which I actually quite like, not least of all because I know the owners of the hands.
And it won.
I have no idea why.

What a neat picture, I really like it!

Congrats on winning :) Sometimes the most unique, thought provoking, framable photos come to us by way of mistakes :)
