Looks like a last ditch effort to dig for water. The is a powerful shot of man's desire to go on in spite of circumstances.

I'm with Wes on this, a lot of emotion in it for me.

Oh this makes my finger tips hurt! This is so desolate - you know, the environmentalists might love to use this image for one of their posters! Man's activities killing the environment.

Really powerfulJune 28, 2009 @ 4:17pm
I love the image, its really strong and powerful and full of meaning.

Forgive my ignorance if I step out of bounds on this but I think it would be a great stock photograph for exactly those reasons. I can clearly see some nice text work coming in from the top with the image of the hand reinforcing the message 100 fold.

To clear it up though I would get rid of the distracting areas in the lower and upper left of the image, the large white bump and the darker elements at the top with the patch tool so the entire image has the same level and the hand becomes the anchor.

Its a great shot!

Regards,
Danny

Fantastic image. I agree with Danny. I would get rid of the distractions in the mud.

Thanks for all the feedback! I did clean the shot up a bit. Here's the cleaner version.
